Abigail Sparks

My formal art study began at Sydney University where I studied Fine Arts in the early 1990’s.

My Grad Dip in Visual Arts Education and a TAFE certificate IV in Ceramics came after that. My fascination for art history and the art world has been stimulated through travel and hundreds of professional development events in visual arts teaching.

My own practice has been facilitating my many exceptional students to high level of achievement in their HSC work.

My roles include president of the Glen Innes Pottery Club, Co-ordinator of Fringe Trash Art Festival, Curator of the annual Art Impress! Art Exhibition.

Community arts projects include “Precious Flora”, Wytaliba creative recovery project, Naidoc “Because of Her We Can” Project, Art in the Heart Ceramic Mural amongst many others.

Recent exhibitions and prizes include “Claytime” Ceramics Exhibition and the NSW Teachers Federation Teachers Art Prize.

I am an art educator and artist with an interest in community art projects, particularly ceramics.
