Elin Hughes

Originally from North Wales, I now make atmospheric fired functional porcelain and stoneware pottery at Kigbeare Studios on the edge of Dartmoor. My wheel thrown work explores traces and mark making, be it through directing flame paths in woodfiring, or scratching through slip to create layered surfaces in the gas kiln. Combining soft forms with repetitive patterns I aim for these pots to impart a sense of warmth, groundedness and intimacy. In 2022 was recipient of the National Eisteddfod of Wales Young Artist Scholarship.
