Gaby Mlynarczyk

Gaby Mlynarczyk is a UK-born artist and designer who has spent over 30 years living in the United States, the last thirteen years living in Southern California, where she participated in countless beach clean-ups. Her current body of work is driven by this experience and is an examination of the great pacific garbage patch, and the sea life unwittingly making it home.

She has taught wheel throwing and hand-building classes since the 1990s in New York, Los Angeles, and now London. She is a recent graduate of the MA Ceramics and Glass program at the Royal College of Art, London. She has been awarded the Charlotte Fraser Prize for excellence and shortlisted for the 2024 Hyundai Awards for sustainability in aesthetics and craft.

Gaby is currently a Ceramic artist in residence at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, where her work will focus on regenerative systems for ceramic practice as well as sustainable materials research and alternative forms of firing. Selected works can be found at the Mint Gallery in London. She has also displayed her work at the Museum of Fine Art in Jingdezhen, China.
