POP Studio
@popstudio.uk
Poppy Fuller Abbott is a textile artist operating under POP studio. Her practice focuses on creating thoughtful interactions between materials with an emphasis on sustainability. POP studio primarily uses hand-woven natural fibres and plants dyes, some of which are foraged or grown locally. Poppy’s work is influenced by folk customs and how we relate to ritual in our current world. Traces, memories, and pathways, literal or figurative, inspire her to reflect on our daily lives and surroundings. Practising such ancient crafts connects Poppy with the heritage and mythology surrounding textiles and creates a language of symbolism and meaning in her work.
Poppy trained as a weaver at Central Saint Martins in London, before joining Cockpit Arts as part of their Clothworkers Award. As a new graduate she began learning about natural dyes on the annual course at Ditchling Museum. She has since completed her Masters in Craft at Brighton University, and was one of the Toast New Makers for 2023. Poppy currently has a studio based at Studio50 in Hove where she creates work using mindful production methods and materials.
