Elly Wall

Elly’s ceramic vessels are hand built using slabs of clay with slips and textural marks and impressions applied during the making process. She works in a variety of stoneware clays, and is interested in how these clays transfer their unique qualities and characteristics to the work, allowing her to create groups and families of vessels, building a narrative between them.

​Both the form and texture of Elly’s vessels are influenced by her continuing fascination with empty and forgotten old public buildings and structures; she draws on the physical and historical layers of these spaces in creating her fascinating empty vessels. Elly has a masters in ceramics from the Royal College of Art, and works from her studio in Hertford.
