Footnote
Abbaro was raised in the Nuba mountains of Sudan, when it was still a British colony. He studied at the Khartoum College of Fine and Applied Arts, before winning a scholarship to the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London.
He was considered as one of the most experimental ceramicists, and through pioneering firing and glazing techniques, his work was noted for its innovative surfaces. Abbaro was also highly regarded as a tutor of the next generation of ceramicists, through his teaching post at the Camden Arts Centre (1966-1990), where he held the role of head of ceramics for over two decades.
