WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR ABU DHABI POTTERY
Abu Dhabi Pottery was established in 1994 by Homa Vafaie-Farley, since which time countless students have been introduced to the techniques, and the enjoyment, of working with clay. In this city-centre studio, Homa has also produced many stunning works of ceramic art, which have been exhibited in the UAE, Iran and the UK. Homa's work has been obtained by art collectors as far as the United States of America and around the world.
