Between 1966 and 1990, he taught ceramics at the Camden Art Centre. His own work ranged from coloured jugs and bowls to large mushroom-shaped forms and sculptures depicting African animals. He experimented with surfaces, forms and colours and pioneered glazing and firing techniques to achieve unusual textures, including tactile surfaces replicating volcanic earth or snakeskin. He exhibited widely in England, Sweden and America, including at the 1968 British Potters ’68 showcase at Qantas Gallery alongside Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie. He also self-published several books on ceramic techniques and his family history.Mohammed Ahmed Abdalla [‘Mo’] Abbaro (1935-2016) was born in Sudan to a family of farmers and Koranic teachers. Abbaro studied Fine and Applied Arts at the Khartoum Technical Institute, working as a carpenter to pay for his studies. In 1959, he won a scholarship to study ceramics at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and in 1964, married fellow artist Rose Glennie, granddaughter of Sir Edwin Lutyens.referenceterm-109891adlib-term-109891ad6efeb2-90e2-3107-ada3-8348ed09c40f21st Century, Earlyreferenceterm-106216adlib-term-106216825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0literalEnglandEnglandcountryLondonporcelain and T materialreferenceterm-37418adlib-term-37418094f2c84-dc70-3a83-80cd-d0464924a992ceramicDiametercm36Heightcm39referencemedia-215218adlib-media-2152189513b1ac-10e4-3338-9c0c-b9c83f8c677ajpegaa/aa40/large_C_2_2019_1_201903_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels768widthpixels102416162673051331imagejpegaa/aa40/mid_C_2_2019_1_201903_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels375widthpixels50016162673051331imagejpegaa/aa40/C_2_2019_1_201903_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels769widthpixels102516162673051331imagejpegaa/aa40/preview_C_2_2019_1_201903_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels188widthpixels25016162673051331image0media
