The post Curious Ceramic Figurines by Sophie Woodrow appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>This talented Bristol-based artist creates curious ceramic figurines that are nothing like you’ve seen before. Her porcelain creatures are often on the surreal side, having animal and human-like features with the addition of fantasy elements.
According to Woodrow, her captivating works are inspired by “the contact point between the natural world and human culture.”
“I am fascinated by the representations that people have made of animals throughout the ages, what they say about them and their times, their sense of themselves in the world, their strengths and vulnerabilities,” she explains.
Woodrow has been creating in various media over the years. However, clay was always her main focus, and this fascination prompted her to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Ceramics at Falmouth College of Art. While influenced by many contemporary and classic artists, she always strived to develop her own style, which is evident in her ceramic figurines.
Woodrow’s pieces often find homes in private collections and art galleries. She also frequently shares her newest creations on Instagram. Check out more of them below.

]]>Yamamoto specializes in realistic ceramic pieces that mimic hats, lingerie, napkins, and sweaters, among other pieces of clothes. The subjects of her works and the material she uses are not selected randomly. Quite the opposite, in fact.
She chooses ceramic because she believes the material “match very well our human existence through its strong presence and brittleness.” Clothes, on the other hand, serve as a way to “memorize the spirit of the owner and his traces.”
“By using the plasticity of clay, I try to reproduce the softness of clothes. Through the firing process, the clay is hardened and keeps the image of the object. It becomes a memory medium,” Yamamoto explains on her website.
Yamamoto is currently based in Kanazawa City, Japan, where she has her studio. She exhibited her works all over Japan and received several awards and accolades, including the Grand Prize at the 15th Spiral Independent Creators Festival. Check out more of her fascinating pieces below.

]]>“When making things I have to see it in my head first,” Quan explained in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Some people just go for it and it evolves, but for me it’s weird – I have to see it in my head or I don’t believe I can do it. I have to be able to see the process linearly. Once I figure out how to make something the first time I’ll make a template so that I don’t have to re-think it every time. If you have to think too hard it’s more exhausting.”
Last day! @shoppeobject … #mquanstudio #mquan #ceramicsAll handmade, from start to finish, her pieces are either hand-built or thrown on the wheel, after which they are painted. The work is then fired in a gas kiln to 2,350 degrees. Other materials used include hand-dyed cotton, hemp rope, and reclaimed wood.
“I feel like anything I say is going to sound corny, but I want my pieces to create moments where people look back at their intentions and how they want to operate in the world,” says Quan, “what they wish to see or have or be or connect with. Just bringing them back into the present and connecting them to the beauty of the world; that’s a moment where everyone feels really good. It’s like touching ground before you go off into the craziness.”
Invite calmness into your life through her original artwork.

]]>The post Zemer Peled’s Creative Process Includes Chaos, Destruction, and Decay appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Peled creates (or rather, smashes) these porcelain shards herself, using a slab roller. “I make sheets of clay, fire them, and smash them into pieces with a hammer,” she explained in an interview with CFile. “I love playing with the idea of the texture and the form can look airy, delicate, light and fluffy and to give a sense of flutter, as if my breath would break it. Yet, the hard and sharp shards can be seen as round and moving, and give a sense of softness.”
Through these deconstructed-to-be-constructed pieces, Peled aims to examine the beauty and brutality that can be found within the natural world. According to Peled, her creative process is also consistent with the Kabbalah concepts of Shevirah (breaking) and Tikkun (mending). “I make, then break, then make again. Chaos, destruction, and decay are intense and necessary creative process for me to create each of my sculptures,” she says.
Born and raised in Israel, her work has been exhibited internationally at venues like Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City). She has also been featured in publications like Vogue, O Magazine, and Elle. But you can follow her creative endeavors also on Instagram.

]]>Based in Oahu, Hawaii, Almeda’s reassessed his ideas about size after coming across a book titled Creating Ceramic Miniatures. And while beforehand he ascribed to the notion that “the bigger the better,” nowadays his motto is the exact opposite.
“Size does matter,” reads his short Instagram bio. And with 17 years of creating miniatures, you better believe he knows what he’s talking about. Pushing himself to improve all the time, each of his projects requires a different set of techniques; and according to Almeda, working in such a small scale is much harder than you might imagine, requiring him to test different clay bodies and make his own tools.
But while his art comes in small sizes, his inspiration is larger than life. “There are so many different things that I am interested in, music, photography, just all different arts,” he shared with The Potters Cast. “There would be too many to list just one. I pull inspiration from all different places.”
Take a look at some of his work in the gallery below:

#ceramics #botzglazes“I made a selection of objects that play an important role in my memories and my personal life story,” said Daneels in an interview with Its Nice That. “By being the archaeologist of my own memories, I tried to bring the memories back to life in ceramic sculptures. The work brings up a memory-game of associations and stories.”
“The passion for ceramics came from my grandmother, who makes porcelain dolls,” she went on to explain. “I’ve seen her making them since I was born. I was always fascinated when I entered her workspace and saw all the porcelain heads, bodies and her huge collection of old fabrics.”
Mastering her craft by watching countless tutorials on YouTube, the self-taught ceramic artist is well worth following on Instagram (if nothing else).

]]>“I took ceramics classes as a kid and have always been very sculpture-minded when it comes to making art,” she recalled in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog. “In college I had the facility to start working with ceramics again and it was a dream come true! I love feeling connected with my younger self who loved clay.”
“I try to be nice to myself when I’m working and mentally it’s allowed me to go to a lot of weird places,” she added. “Also I take time to work in different mediums and try new things, then when I come back to ceramics I find that the new things have a way of influencing the way I work.”
Her vases and jugs are a joy to behold. Take a look for yourself.
I love these cuties so much
