Angie Thirkell was born on a farm in Zimbabwe, and spent her childhood at boarding school in Harare.

​

In 1982 she graduated with a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Cape Town, then spent the next 20 years working in IT in Cape Town, London & Philadelphia. Her travels also included working and living in France.

​

Once her children were older and settled at school, she decided to go back to University to study Ceramics, graduating with a BA (Hons) from Buckinghamshire New University in 2011.
