Ailddehongliad direidus o draddodiadau crochenwaith cefn gwlad Brydeinig - is Welsh for “a mischievous reimagining of British country pottery traditions”

A native Welsh speaker, Elin Hughes was a Mill Creek Apprentice in 2023-2024. Elin is a go-getter, well-trained in ceramics with a BA (Hons) in Ceramics from the Cardiff School of Art and Design in 2019. Looking to gain a deeper understanding of woodfiring, Elin assisted at the Intimate Anagama Workshop in 2022 and went on to do a residency at Guldagergaard in Denmark.

Elin started her time at Mill Creek Pottery in February of 2023. Partially funded by a grant from the Arts Council of Wales. In addition to her interest in becoming an educator, and bringing knowledge back to Wales, Elin says “I am intrinsically motivated to communicate something fundamental about my experience of being human through clay.”
