The intrigue that her sculptures evoke has to do with the way Lindner approaches her creative process. According to the artist herself, the goal of these unusual pieces is to combine the imagery of vegetation, the animal world, and the human body into a single piece. She manages to achieve this by considering them to be “made of the same substance.”

Lindner, who graduated from Camberwell College of Arts, has an idea and a basic sketch before commencing the work on a particular sculpture. However, in line with the organic feel that her pieces project, she allows the material to guide her to the sculpture’s final look.

“I have to be attentive to its tensions, folds, and plasticity in order to make a form that will “flow” and tell an interesting story,” she explained in a recent chat with Colossal.

Lindner’s works have found homes in galleries across Europe, but they are also available on her social media. Check out more of them below.

“I want my pieces to create moments where people look back at their intentions and how they want to operate in the world, what they wish to see or have or be or connect with,” she once remarked in an interview with Matter of Hand. “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.”

Part of her ceramic objects’ appeal is that they’re all handmade, either hand-built or thrown on the wheel, after which they are hand-painted, adding a personal touch to them. Other than ceramics, Quan also works with other organic materials that include hand-dyed cotton, hemp rope, and reclaimed wood.

“When making things I have to see it in my head first,” she explains, talking about the creative process that goes behind the scenes. “I have to be able to see the process linearly,” stresses Quan. “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.”

Take a look at some of her original designs in the gallery below.

“My roots are in ceramic & glass art & design,” she writes on her website. “From there I’ve built my way to illustration and visual storytelling. Regardless of material and medium, my works share the same characteristics—rhythmic & bold use of colors and lines and essentially passion for drawing.”

Teva lives and works in Finland. She’s exhibited her work in several galleries in the past. You can check it out below and if you want to see more, make sure to follow her on Instagram for past and future work!

According to the Peled, her creative process is consistent with the Kabbalah concepts of Shevirah (breaking) and Tikkun (mending) which can also be considered as a renewal. “I make, then break, then make again,” she shared with CFile. “Chaos, destruction, and decay are intense and necessary creative process for me to create each of my sculptures.”

This process includes producing the ceramic shards herself, using a slab roller. “I make sheets of clay, fire them, and smash them into pieces with a hammer,” she explained. “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.”

Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues like Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City); and has also been featured in top tier publications like Vogue, O Magazine, and Elle. But you can also follow her creative journey on Instagram.

“I’d always loved drawing and story-telling, ever since I was a kid in fact,” she stated in an interview with Inky Goodness. “I’ve now grown into an artist/illustrator, with quite a broad and experimental approach spanning illustration, fine art, comic book design, toy design, ceramics, and pattern design.”

Her creations include book art, products, magazines, posters, and store installations; collaborating with clients like NIKE, The New York Times, The New Yorker Magazine, and Washington Post. “I don’t really think that [there’s] a distinction between my work and my hobbies,” she admits. “I generally really like to be creative. I’d happily just sit in a studio in my spare time and make 100 tiny ceramic mice… that would make me super happy.” Sounds like the absolute best plan to us.

But it took Tavill sometime before she decided on her artistic voice, having first pursued a career in fashion. It was only in 2003 that she came across clay, and a love story ensued. Working from her studio based on the New Jersey shore, her process includes wheel throwing and hand-building, altering and distorting forms before deeply carving, hand texturing and surface detailing her creations.

Firing the clay twice allows for the addition of delicate glazing work and the melting of crushed glass for additional surface interest. According to her, this process is long and involved, requiring both planning and improvisation. 

But it’s a process that is worthwhile, judging by the finished result.

But when it comes to his inspiration, the Hawaii-based ceramic artist admits it’s varied. “There are so many different things that I am interested in, music, photography, just all different arts,” he told The Potters Cast. “There would be too many to list just one. I pull inspiration from all different places.”

After 17 years of creating miniatures, the self-taught artist has truly honed his craft. But he admits that when he first discovered ceramic art he assigned to the notion that “the bigger the better.” It was only after coming across a book called Creating Ceramic Miniatures that he saw things differently.

Working on small-scaled objects was much harder then he imagined, requiring him to test different clay bodies, make his own tools, and trying out new techniques. Here are some of our favorite creations by him:

Their brand, named after Julieta Alvarez, sells unique jewelry pieces and home decoration across five continents in cities like Paris, Tokyo, New York, Sidney, London, and Helsinki, with their products shown at galleries, stores, and international museums.

With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Alvarez fell in love with ceramics after taking a ceramics course. “I needed a change and I decided to take a course imparted by Resu Labrador, an artisan that had a workshop near home,” she shared in an interview Cup of Couple. “I used to go there full of ideas, and she taught me different techniques to achieve my objectives. Since then, I haven’t stopped!”

“I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she went on to explain. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”

“My first contact with clay was during my Erasmus year in Leipzig,” she shared in an interview with Its Nice That. “In our illustration class, we were set a project around space. I wanted to recreate the inside of the international space station bathroom, because I find it fascinating how astronauts do their personal hygiene in space. I had to find a material to make ‘space hygiene tools’ with, and air-drying clay seemed the nicest and easiest material to work with.”

These objects, though common, carry a special meaning to Daneels, explaining that “I made a selection of objects that play an important role in my memories and my personal life story. 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 explained. “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.”

“My media is often mixed,” she shared with Inky Goodness. “I draw, first and foremost though. I’m most comfortable using a brush over a pencil. I enjoy working with collage, as well as clay, and wire/paper sculpture.”

Inspired by people, nature, and science, there is an element of humor that shines throughout her work. “I guess what makes me different is my northern humor,” she added. “I’ve a distinctive style, which I’ve been trying to snap out of for a while. I think it’s good to be recognisable, but it can start to feel a bit stale as an artist, to always be following the same path. I’ve been experimenting with clay and larger, more color and texture based, minimal painting. With the ceramics, I’ve managed to pick some comic characters right off the paper, and mold them into these life like creations, that are also really sellable products.”

“I like making things that make people happy,” she admitted. “I love the personalised element to it, especially with gifts. A lot of people come to me with a commission for a friend who has a pet that they love dearly, or they want me to pull their personal quirks out from. I just love the thought of them opening this completely unexpected gift.”
