About Elin Hughes
"Originally from North Wales, I now make functional porcelain and stoneware pottery at Kigbeare Studios on the edge of Dartmoor, Devon.
 
"My wheel thrown work explores traces and mark making, be it through directing flame paths in wood-firing, or scratching through slip to create layered surfaces in the gas kiln. Subtle brush and finger marks speak to the process of decorating with traditional shino and chun glazes over a high iron slip, revealing gentle variations and depth of surface."
 
"Combining soft forms with repetitive patterns I aim for these pots to impart a sense of warmth, groundedness and intimacy. Woodfired pots are fired in the anagama kiln at Kigbeare with a team of around six potters for the duration of five days. The process allows me to be involved in every stage of clay’s transformation - from sourcing and splitting the wood to influencing how the flame moves between the pots."
