“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; thatโ€™s a moment where everyone feels really good. Itโ€™s like touching ground before you go off into the craziness.โ€

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.

โ€œWhen making things I have to see it in my head first,โ€ she explains, talking about the creative process that goes behind the scenes. โ€œI have to be able to see the process linearly,” stresses Quan. “Once I figure out how to make something the first time Iโ€™ll make a template so that I donโ€™t have to re-think it every time. If you have to think too hard itโ€™s more exhausting.โ€

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

Amy Victoria Marshโ€™s minimalist ceramics come in all sorts of funny shapes and theyโ€™re based on a simple, pastel color palette. Their purpose is to spread joy and happiness, inspire humor and put a giant smile on our face.

Marsh is a Manchester-based artist whoโ€™s been working as an illustrator for a very long time, but then she reached into the world of ceramics when she signed up for a ceramics class. Ever since she was a child she loved creating and collecting tiny objects, so her love for this creative art form is not surprising at all.

โ€œI was madly into toys such as Polly Pocket and Sylvanian Families and loved looking at illustrated stamps. Looking back at my childhood itโ€™s no wonder Iโ€™m making some of the work I am today,โ€ the artist said in an interview with Itโ€™s Nice That.

Marsh visited Japan in 2016, and this country, its culture, art and cuisine, inspire most of the tiny artworks she creating today.

โ€œFrom the typography found everywhere, to the personification of most objects, the Japanese have a unique take on design, which I find hugely inspiring,โ€ she said.
