Senegalese ceramicist Fatimata Ly is committed to the creation of authentic products. Ly studied biology and biochemistry, but was drawn to clay – and even found that her methodology and understanding of minerals informed her ability to manipulate it. She pursued an education in ceramics at Central Saint Martins in London, where she learnt the importance of bringing together technical knowledge and cultural heritage. With her brand Fatyly, Ly brings to life contemporary products by infusing them with a strong sense of African heritage.
