About Us...
My name is Abigail Yentis
In the heart of London's vibrant art scene, I, Abigail, am on an ever-evolving artistic journey. Trained at the Hampstead School of Art, my exploration began with portraits and traversed through the realms of abstract and impressionism. Today, my work is a fusion of styles and media, from conventional oil paint to unconventional materials like house paint, enamel, and even repurposed objects like vinyl records and rubber gloves.
As an artist and educator, I've spent years imparting my passion for art to both children and adults, tailoring sessions to diverse settings and unique aims. Now, at the helm of Cosy Corner Collective in Hackney Wick, I've created a haven for wholesome art workshops. In this canal-side studio, the emphasis is on unwinding and creating within a supportive community.
From acrylic and oil painting to clay tiles, scrapbook making, drawing, life drawing, and jewellery crafting, each workshop is a curated blend of styles and materials. Cosy Corner Collective is more than a studio; it's a space where individuals come together to explore, express, and connect through the transformative power of art.
Join me on this creative journey, where every stroke, every material, and every shared moment adds to the rich tapestry of artistic expression and communal joy.
The One or the Many
Classes are tailored to the needs of the participants. These might be individuals wanting to start or develop their creative journey, either one-to-one or in small groups.
Or, it might be a large group celebrating a birthday or hen night, or a corporate event enhancing team-building.
​
In all cases, the gentle relaxing environment of the Cosy Corner class – whether at our base in Hackney Wick or brought to your venue or workplace for a private event – fosters a safe environment in which you can enjoy others' company whilst creating your own piece of work.
