Welcome to Irene Hughes Pottery 

​

My work mainly involves the production of handmade tableware from white stoneware clay. My garden home studio is in the heart of Montrose, a small seaside town on the east coast of Scotland. The decoration of my pottery with slips and glazes reflects the influence of the seascapes and landscapes that surround me.

​

Involvement in the firing of a community wood fired kiln has enabled me to evolve this area of my work. With each firing I've been involved in I gain more knowledge and understanding of this incredible process, it is a great way to learn and to experiment with forms, clay and decorative effects as part of a group.

​

I'm also delighted to be the owner of the Clay Half, my pottery studio in Montrose town centre. Bringing pottery to the town it is a space for people to have a go at being creative, learning pottery and other creative arts. For information on classes click here.
