Elaine Glynn has always had a strong interest in pottery. She especially enjoys the decorative components of working with clay, such as carving, painting and more recently working with gold lustres. Colour is also a very important aspect of her work and she is always looking for that element of surprise in each piece.

There is something very special about being able to work in a craft that is centuries old ….to see the pleasure a simple bowl can give, whether it is just being held, or used to serve delicious food to friends and family.

Elaine studied Fine Arts in University, but as a Potter, she is essentially self-taught. She will continue to grow by improving her throwing technique and by experimenting with colour, metallic lustres and texture. Future work will include decals and the layering of images.
