]]> Most artists search for perfection in their works. But ceramic artist Nastia Calaca is taking a different approach. She is not only tolerating the imperfections but also embracing them.

Calaca creates various unique and eye-catching ceramic pieces, including figurines, plates, and dishware. However, her most popular creations are animal sculptures that are slightly different than the real-life specimens they are inspired by.

For example, the octopuses she makes are bubbly, the lions have flat faces and short legs, and crocodiles are presented as walking like humans and dressed in a suit.

Despite not being what you expect, Calaca’s animals are adorable in their own way. The more you look at them, the more quirky details you discover about them. And they are truly one-of-a-kind because the artist never replicates her works.

“Even the copies I make on-demand are different from the original, they have mood and character of their own; some gain a wee bit of weight, some get a few new charming little wrinkles, and each of them hopes to be loved and cared for by their new owners,“ she explains.

Calaca’s animal sculptures are available on her official Etsy shop and website. You can also follow her newest creations on Instagram.

]]> Ghost ceramics are a unique and fascinating art form that has gained popularity in recent years. One artist in particular, a woman named Lisa Agnetun, has made a name for herself in the world of ghost ceramics.

Agnetun has always been drawn to the art of ceramics. She was drawn to the medium because of its versatility and the endless possibilities it offered for creativity.

Her ghost ceramics are truly one-of-a-kind. She uses traditional ceramic techniques to create pieces that are both haunting and beautiful. Each piece is handcrafted and carefully glazed to give it a unique appearance.

One of her most popular pieces is a series of ghostly figurines. These figures are small and delicate and designed to look adorable.

In addition to her figurines, she also creates larger, more complex pieces, such as ghostly vases and lamps. These pieces are crafted with the same attention to detail and ethereal quality as her figurines, and are equally as popular with collectors.

The ghost ceramics have gained a devoted following among collectors and art enthusiasts. Her unique and captivating pieces are a testament to her talent and creativity, and she continues to push the boundaries of the art form with each new piece she creates.

]]> Zemer Peled finds beauty in broken shards of porcelain. Her work, based on deconstruction and then reconstruction, is formed from thousands of porcelain shards constructed into sculptures (of varying sizes and shapes) and installations. The end result often takes after the natural world, reminding us of organic forms such as coral and flowers.

 “I’m constantly inspired by nature, traveling, and hiking,” she shared in an interview with Sarah K. Benning, where she talked about her creative process. “The first place I go when I visit somewhere new is the botanical gardens. I love gardens, national parks, and taking in huge landscapes – Joshua Tree is my favorite place I found this past year.”

Born and raised in Israel, Peled earned her MA at the Royal College of Art (UK). In recent years, her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City), and she has also been featured in Vogue, O Magazine, and Elle, amongst other international publications. 

But she’s also amassed an impressive following online, with almost 65,000 fans on Instagram alone. “The internet is an incredible tool for artists – especially with things like Instagram because it’s so visual,” notes Peled. “Through it I’ve been able to meet new people and get to see and learn about so many new artists. And not just artists – Instagram makes it possible for people in all kinds of fields to visually show their passion – I love looking at not only artists but also accounts of archaeologists, scientists, national parks etc. for inspiration.”

Peled’s work is also found in many private collections around the world and museum collections, such as the Fuller Craft Museum, the Crocker Art Museum, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. But you can also purchase her pieces for yourself through her website.

]]> Food connects families and we’re sure there are certain foods that bring you right back to your childhood. Such is the case with ceramics artist Mechelle Bounpraseut, who explores her identity as a first-generation daughter of Laotian refugees by creating branded food and drink items that represent her culture.

Her journey to becoming an artist wasn’t easy as she was raised a Jehovah’s witness and discouraged from following her artistic passions. Eventually in her 20s she left the religion, got married, and fulfilled her dream of being an artist. She started by drawing and creating zines and then she took a ceramics course and discovered her talents. Before long she was designing bright, clay miniature household items.

One of her ceramics, a Heinz ketchup bottle, which can be found in fridges around the world, represents her family preparing and eating pho together. Through her designs, she looks back at her childhood and makes new memories.

Which foods remind you of your childhood? Be sure to check out more of this artists’ creations below.

My parents come from Laos, the land of condiments. Every bottle, every jar reminds me of them. When mum made Pho, you could smell the broth while it simmered all morning. Then at lunch you would gleefully season your own bowl. A little soy, a little sugar, a squeeze of lemon, a dash of Heinz tomato sauce and pepper. Then mum would taste it to make sure it was just right. When mum made me eggs with Maggi sauce sprinkled on top to eat with sticky rice. When dad made me Jeow, (a Lao sweet and salty dipping sauce) with chillis and herbs freshly pick from the garden with Healthy Boy Brand Soy sauce. I may not always understand my parents or Lao culture which I often feel dissconnected from. But when I make Lao food for them, for my husband and a few special friends. I hope my parents see that I watched them as I was growing up and I learnt and remembered. That I am appreciative and grateful. . . .

🦐 There used to be a buffet in the food court of my local Westfields. The deal was you get a plate and shovel what you could on top. You could basically feed your entire family if you stacked everything right like reverse Jenga. It was like building a house, you needed a strong soild foundation of rice. Then placed tight groupings of stirfries on top, never loading up on too much liquid as it destablises everything. Then the fried shit goes on top like a roof. If you couldnt get at least 2 spring rolls on top, you failed as a provider. . . . . #ceramics #australianceramics #sculpture #art #clay #artist #contemporaryceramics #ceramicart #pottery

]]> Judi Tavill’s ceramic creations take after corals — in terms of their shape and texture. Her creative process is long and involved and requires both planning and improvisation. “Using a personal visual vocabulary, I explore life’s richness and fragility,” she writes on her website, “focusing on the interplay between deeply carved lines of undulating curves and rich hand texturing that pierces and prods through the clay’s surface.” This process involves building from the inside out while developing its surface from the outside in. 

Born in 1968 in Baltimore, MD, Tavill received her BFA in Fashion Design from the Washington University in Saint Louis in 1990 and achieved success as a fashion and textile print designer before pursuing her art interests. After delving into various mediums, she found clay in 2003. 

Her creations are inspired by both natural and man-made forms. “I absolutely am inspired by nature as well as architecture, design, and culture,” she shared in an interview with Monmouth Arts. “I work to abstract what I am inspired by and incorporate form or color or construction in my work without necessarily creating a direct reference.”

According to Tavill, her coral texture-looking work was actually inspired by looking at other forms of nature and creating texture with various tools. This experimentation with texture ended up creating such distinct sculptures. “It was at that point that I rode the wave (no pun intended) to see where that texture took the work,” she says.

Based on the oceanic shore of New Jersey, Tavill has traveled around the country to lead demonstration and hands-on workshops as well as having taught locally and volunteering to work with special needs students. But you can also follow her work online, via Instagram.

For some artists, the work they create is similar to what they normally make, but at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. The works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.” Korman Gallery Apr 18th – Jun 9th, 2019 Opening Reception: April 18, 6 – 8 pm.

]]> Ceramic art is where the cool kids are at. From kitchen to garden, we are undeniably living in the age of ceramics. And thanks to the ingenuity of sister Julieta and Rocio Álvarez, you can now also incorporate ceramics into your wardrobe.

Based in Madrid, the signature-ceramic brand is named after Julieta Álvarez, with all of their products handmade and therefore – one of a kind. With a background in fashion and graphic design, Álvarez says she loves the versatility of ceramics. “I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she told Cup of Couple. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”

Structural in nature, the sisters’ pieces – which include accessories and deco – have been shown at galleries, stores, and international museums such as the Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Luxembourg or the Reina Sofía in Madrid, amongst others.

“I’m so interested in contrasts,” says Álvarez. “When you look at nature you can find geometric shapes, symmetries and repeated patterns following a mathematical behavior, but at the same time, you find chaos, disorder, poetry, and shapes without any coherence.”

Here are some of our favorite pieces by the brand:

]]> Artist Fan Yanting lives and works in Taiwan. He creates minimalistic ceramic mugs, vessels, and vases with little faces on them that really make them special.

Yanting never plans which face expression he will put on a particular item. He just starts and sees where the process will take him. This has many advantages. It lets him express his creativity and inner flow in the best possible way and it also leaves room for interpretation when people are looking at his works.

“I empty my mind when I’m sculpting the human faces. I might plan the pottery shape and maybe where I’d like to position the face, but I don’t start with specific character designs in mind,” he told Neocha.

]]> Jasmine Little’s art is a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Based in Colorado, she shifts constantly between sculpting and painting, working with ceramics as well as canvases. But it’s her recent project which has really caught our attention.

In it, she carved cylindrical stoneware vessels with iconography, reminiscent of ancient artifacts of a long-lost civilization. Her inspiration for her creations varied from Flemish and Renaissance paintings and medieval illuminated manuscripts to Safavid period carpets, Japanese woodblock prints, Greek black-figure, and red-figure pottery.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6J_mm7l_Dg/

But though her art seems to be out of time and out of place, her goal is for it to communicate with others. “I am very sentimental, but I want my work to be open and have more entry points and interpretations,” she told Art of Choice. “That’s more what I am doing now in both my paintings and sculptures.”

Talking about how she balances between ceramics and painting, Little added: “For me, I get a bit stir crazy so bouncing between the two mediums helps break up my time. Typically I will work in one medium for a period of months and then switch, with that amount of time you can sort of get somewhere with something, and also get to the point where you are yearning for the other thing and start to build anticipation for the shift.”

Take a look at some of her original artwork in the gallery below:

]]> Zemer Peled finds beauty in broken shards of porcelain. Her work, based on deconstruction and then reconstruction, is formed from thousands of porcelain shards constructed into sculptures (of varying sizes and shapes) and installations. The end result often takes after the natural world, reminding us of organic forms such as coral and flowers.

 “I’m constantly inspired by nature, traveling, and hiking,” she shared in an interview with Sarah K. Benning, where she talked about her creative process. “The first place I go when I visit somewhere new is the botanical gardens. I love gardens, national parks, and taking in huge landscapes – Joshua Tree is my favorite place I found this past year.”

Born and raised in Israel, Peled earned her MA at the Royal College of Art (UK). In recent years, her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City), and she has also been featured in Vogue, O Magazine, and Elle, amongst other international publications. 

But she’s also amassed an impressive following online, with almost 65,000 fans on Instagram alone. “The internet is an incredible tool for artists – especially with things like Instagram because it’s so visual,” notes Peled. “Through it I’ve been able to meet new people and get to see and learn about so many new artists. And not just artists – Instagram makes it possible for people in all kinds of fields to visually show their passion – I love looking at not only artists but also accounts of archaeologists, scientists, national parks etc. for inspiration.”

Peled’s work is also found in many private collections around the world and museum collections, such as the Fuller Craft Museum, the Crocker Art Museum, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. But you can also purchase her pieces for yourself through her website.

]]> Food connects families and we’re sure there are certain foods that bring you right back to your childhood. Such is the case with ceramics artist Mechelle Bounpraseut, who explores her identity as a first-generation daughter of Laotian refugees by creating branded food and drink items that represent her culture.

Her journey to becoming an artist wasn’t easy as she was raised a Jehovah’s witness and discouraged from following her artistic passions. Eventually in her 20s she left the religion, got married, and fulfilled her dream of being an artist. She started by drawing and creating zines and then she took a ceramics course and discovered her talents. Before long she was designing bright, clay miniature household items.

One of her ceramics, a Heinz ketchup bottle, which can be found in fridges around the world, represents her family preparing and eating pho together. Through her designs, she looks back at her childhood and makes new memories.

My parents come from Laos, the land of condiments. Every bottle, every jar reminds me of them. When mum made Pho, you could smell the broth while it simmered all morning. Then at lunch you would gleefully season your own bowl. A little soy, a little sugar, a squeeze of lemon, a dash of Heinz tomato sauce and pepper. Then mum would taste it to make sure it was just right. When mum made me eggs with Maggi sauce sprinkled on top to eat with sticky rice. When dad made me Jeow, (a Lao sweet and salty dipping sauce) with chillis and herbs freshly pick from the garden with Healthy Boy Brand Soy sauce. I may not always understand my parents or Lao culture which I often feel dissconnected from. But when I make Lao food for them, for my husband and a few special friends. I hope my parents see that I watched them as I was growing up and I learnt and remembered. That I am appreciative and grateful. . . .

🦐 There used to be a buffet in the food court of my local Westfields. The deal was you get a plate and shovel what you could on top. You could basically feed your entire family if you stacked everything right like reverse Jenga. It was like building a house, you needed a strong soild foundation of rice. Then placed tight groupings of stirfries on top, never loading up on too much liquid as it destablises everything. Then the fried shit goes on top like a roof. If you couldnt get at least 2 spring rolls on top, you failed as a provider. . . . . #ceramics #australianceramics #sculpture #art #clay #artist #contemporaryceramics #ceramicart #pottery

]]> Judi Tavill’s ceramic creations take after corals — in terms of their shape and texture. Her creative process is long and involved and requires both planning and improvisation. “Using a personal visual vocabulary, I explore life’s richness and fragility,” she writes on her website, “focusing on the interplay between deeply carved lines of undulating curves and rich hand texturing that pierces and prods through the clay’s surface.” This process involves building from the inside out while developing its surface from the outside in. 

Born in 1968 in Baltimore, MD, Tavill received her BFA in Fashion Design from the Washington University in Saint Louis in 1990 and achieved success as a fashion and textile print designer before pursuing her art interests. After delving into various mediums, she found clay in 2003. 

Her creations are inspired by both natural and man-made forms. “I absolutely am inspired by nature as well as architecture, design, and culture,” she shared in an interview with Monmouth Arts. “I work to abstract what I am inspired by and incorporate form or color or construction in my work without necessarily creating a direct reference.”

According to Tavill, her coral texture-looking work was actually inspired by looking at other forms of nature and creating texture with various tools. This experimentation with texture ended up creating such distinct sculptures. “It was at that point that I rode the wave (no pun intended) to see where that texture took the work,” she says.

Based on the oceanic shore of New Jersey, Tavill has traveled around the country to lead demonstration and hands-on workshops as well as having taught locally and volunteering to work with special needs students. But you can also follow her work online, via Instagram.

Happy to be included! “Small Favors engages artists' creativity in new and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. For some artists, the work they create is similar to what they normally make, but at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. The works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.” Korman Gallery Apr 18th – Jun 9th, 2019 Opening Reception: April 18, 6 – 8 pm.

]]> Ceramic art is where the cool kids are at. From kitchen to garden, we are undeniably living in the age of ceramics. And thanks to the ingenuity of sister Julieta and Rocio Álvarez, you can now also incorporate ceramics into your wardrobe.

Based in Madrid, the signature-ceramic brand is named after Julieta Álvarez, with all of their products handmade and therefore – one of a kind. With a background in fashion and graphic design, Álvarez says she loves the versatility of ceramics. “I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she told Cup of Couple. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”

Structural in nature, the sisters’ pieces – which include accessories and deco – have been shown at galleries, stores, and international museums such as the Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Luxembourg or the Reina Sofía in Madrid, amongst others.

“I’m so interested in contrasts,” says Álvarez. “When you look at nature you can find geometric shapes, symmetries and repeated patterns following a mathematical behavior, but at the same time, you find chaos, disorder, poetry, and shapes without any coherence.”

Here are some of our favorite pieces by the brand:

]]> Artist Fan Yanting lives and works in Taiwan. He creates minimalistic ceramic mugs, vessels, and vases with little faces on them that really make them special.

Yanting never plans which face expression he will put on a particular item. He just starts and sees where the process will take him. This has many advantages. It lets him express his creativity and inner flow in the best possible way and it also leaves room for interpretation when people are looking at his works.

“I empty my mind when I’m sculpting the human faces. I might plan the pottery shape and maybe where I’d like to position the face, but I don’t start with specific character designs in mind,” he told Neocha.

]]> Jasmine Little’s art is a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Based in Colorado, she shifts constantly between sculpting and painting, working with ceramics as well as canvases. But it’s her recent project which has really caught our attention.

In it, she carved cylindrical stoneware vessels with iconography, reminiscent of ancient artifacts of a long-lost civilization. Her inspiration for her creations varied from Flemish and Renaissance paintings and medieval illuminated manuscripts to Safavid period carpets, Japanese woodblock prints, Greek black-figure, and red-figure pottery.

But though her art seems to be out of time and out of place, her goal is for it to communicate with others. “I am very sentimental, but I want my work to be open and have more entry points and interpretations,” she told Art of Choice. “That’s more what I am doing now in both my paintings and sculptures.”

Talking about how she balances between ceramics and painting, Little added: “For me, I get a bit stir crazy so bouncing between the two mediums helps break up my time. Typically I will work in one medium for a period of months and then switch, with that amount of time you can sort of get somewhere with something, and also get to the point where you are yearning for the other thing and start to build anticipation for the shift.”

Take a look at some of her original artwork in the gallery below:
