This gorgeous work by @amyjaynehughes will soon make its debut at @artmiamifairs 30 November - 5 December 2021, courtesy @cynthiacorbettgallery, Booth AM100.

Work: After Alhambra', large, raspberry, lilac and pine, 2021
Coil and slab built vase; grogged stoneware body with high fired porcelain and coloured decorating slips, transparent glaze interior detail.
53 x 40 cm
20 3/4 x 15 3/4 in

British Amy Hughes’s practice is both fuelled by and symbolic of the highly prestigious Porcelain wares produced at the Royal Sèvres Factory in the late 17th and 18th centuries. Hughes’ works reference and pay homage to the originals, but are created with a freer approach, giving them a new lease of life.

After Alhambra pieces take inspiration from the large lustre vases produced during the Nasrid Dynasty (the last Muslim Dynasty in the Iberian peninsula, ruling Granada) in the 14th and 15th centuries which became romantically known as 'Alhambra Vases', and of which only 8 remain in semi-intact existence today. The skill, the legend, the intrigue surrounding these vases captivated and fuelled my fascination to explore a contemporary response to the stunning relics. The forms, the two wing-like handles, the horizontal decorations all reference the originals, the rawness in composition and materiality nodding to their faded beauty. Amy Hughes was shortlisted for the inaugural Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize in 2014.

The Fair will be open to the public from 11am-7pm from Wednesday 1st December to Sunday 5th December.

Leach 100 Commissioned Artists take center stage on our Instagram over the next four weekends.

Their work is currently on show at the @british_ceramics_biennial.

First to be featured is @amyjaynehughes below she writes beautifully about her work.

Responding to the Leach aesthetic of ‘Brushwork’, in ‘A Potter’s Book’, Leach advised Occidental students to obtain some ‘good' brushes.

Taken literally, I crafted my own from found and foraged materials local to the Pottery, St Ives. Thus prepared, I began studies into mark-making with my new tools, starting with a series of brushwork exercises before deciding which best lends itself to what type of mark, then working in clay, exploring one brush per pattern, one pattern per pot using wax resist to create relief across the surfaces.

Decoration becomes subtly imbedded in the form and highlighted not hidden by glaze, in tune with the Leach ethos that for a pattern to be good, it must be “freely executed, combine with and improve the form.”
