Inspiration and Techniques

Elli Carr, a sculptor with a foundation in drawing and sculpture, earned a Post Graduate Degree at The City and Guilds School of Art. Shifting from figurative clay and bronze casting, Elli returned to clay, focusing on direct engagement and firing. Employing hand-building techniques like coiling and pinching, Elli aims to fuse sculptural aesthetics with functionality, creating pieces that are both beautiful and useful.
