Crossword Genius

Such ugly pots, oddly in fashion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sculpt

'fashion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'such ugly pots oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
'such'+'ugly'+'pots'='suchuglypots'
The alternating letters of 'suchuglypots' are 'SCULPT'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sculpt that I've seen before include "Create by shaping a material" , "Carve in wood or stone" , "Oak fruit" , "Carve a shape" , "Carve (stone, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
