Ellen Martin was the daughter of self taught artist Carrie Graves of Eden NC. Ellen died in 2004 in her 40s. She did not have a kiln and would fire her work with Charlie Moore through friends. Charles never knew who Elen was. Marvin Bailey remembers Ellen Martin from some of the folk shows she set up at but she died very young. She did make hundreds of pieces of pottery. 2.5" tall by 3" long.
