Gabriella Rhodes (b. 1993, Stoke-on-Trent) is an artist based on the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales. She graduated from Manchester School of Art in 2018 with a BA (Hons) in Three-Dimensional Design and is currently studying remotely for a Master’s in Regenerative Design at Central Saint Martins. Her work investigates the interconnections of ecology, geology, and vernacular knowledge systems on the Llŷn Peninsula, working with clom — a mixture of clay-rich earth and straw — to reinterpret the region’s traditional earth-building techniques within a contemporary context. Through this material practice, she explores the possibilities — and tensions — of developing a regenerative arts practice with clay that supports multi-species co-flourishing.

Gabriella has exhibited nationally, including at London Craft Week (2024 & 2025) and Artistiaid Ifainc Cymru at MOMA Machynlleth. She has received grants and residencies from Guldagergaard Ceramic Research Centre (Denmark), A-B Projects (Los Angeles), and the Arts Council of Wales. In 2024, she presented her MA research at Regenerate!, a symposium hosted by the Jan Van Eyck Academie, where she shared work on unfired, site-specific clays in contemporary practice through the lens of vernacular earth-building and regenerative material narratives.
