Soft launching for UK & US customers.
A small bowl with a quatrefoil rim, four lobes rather than a circle, so it reads differently depending which way you set it down. The inside is worked in cobalt, dark at the edge and clearing towards a bright centre.
The four together make a set, one for each turning point of the year: Alban Arthan at midwinter, Alban Eilir at the spring equinox, Alban Hefin at midsummer, Alban Elfed in autumn. Bethan took them from the moment sunlight reaches down into the passage graves of Wales and Ireland, which is where most of her research begins.
Porcelain, glazed inside and out, thrown and finished in a Cardiff studio.

Bethan Lowri Hughes Jones carves a pattern into wet clay, floods the hollow with coloured slip, then scrapes the surface back to find out whether it worked. She works in Welsh, from a studio at Fireworks Clay Studios in Cardiff, and she will teach you the method as well as sell you the result.
