The New Zealand-born, Australia-based Sandra Tyson worked as a nurse in a Neurosurgical Department for 29 years, but, unfortunately, at the age of 36, she was diagnosed with a rare form of heart disease, which caused her to completely change her lifestyle. Being a crafty person since youth, she started making stunningly beautiful pottery, which was of the things she wanted to cross off her bucket list.

Every hand-made textural ceramic bowls, plates, and spoons are unique and inspired by the things that surround her, especially nature. One day she would like to write a book about tips and tricks on how to turn negative things into positive. Besides doing her pottery, Tyson has a great eye for photography, likes to travel, and has been holding motivational workshops.

“My husband and daughter are my biggest supporters and heroes and I also have some beautiful friends who continue to support me and my craft,” the artist told in an interview for Shibui and co. and added that, although she considers pottery making her hobby, it brings a smile to her face when she sees a happy customer.

The artist behind the Wode Ceramics Instagram account is creating beautiful tiny pottery that will make you fall in love with this amazing craft. The interesting thing about this artist is that she got acquainted with pottery less than a year ago and she’s already very skilled at making these mini creations.

The talented woman worked as a film producer, before she took a break from her job in November 2019, and took a trip to Jingdezhen, China—the capital of porcelain. There she fell in love with pottery and learned the basics of this craft.

“It is a craft that requires you to experiment heavily so you can utilize the sense of touch to understand how clay can be shaped. Things like patience, an eye for precision, and a never-give-up attitude even if you fail are important qualities one must possess to proceed further,” the artist told Bored Panda.

She continued to explore the art of pottery even after returning to her home country, Singapore. Uploading photos and videos of her progress on Instagram gained the artist a sizable following on social media and motivated her to continue the practice to this day.

When it comes to his pottery, Jon Almeda takes it to the next level. In his case, it means shrinking his work down to a miniature scale. Raised in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest, Almeda finds his inspiration in the ever-changing cloud formations in the sky and the movement of the tides. Those also perform as a backdrop to his work, as most of his practice is carried out in the great outdoors.

In response to his love of nature, Almeda created his own small portable pottery wheel to take out on location and create pieces outside in the open air – a practice known as plein air pottery. According to his website, his practice is a response to the colors, energies, textures, and composition found in nature: the cool dark waters and tall evergreens of the Pacific Northwest and the luscious flora and textures of the ocean in Hawaii.

A self-taught artist, his craft was learned through trial and error. After years of creating large scale pieces with a “bigger is better” mentality, he switched gears when coming across a book called “Creating Ceramic Miniatures”. Challenging himself, he soon discovered that working small was much harder then he imagined. He tested different clay bodies, made his own tools, and tried new techniques to improve the detail of each new piece.

After 17 years of creating miniatures, Almeda is still challenging himself to improve and to try new things with each kiln load. His challenges now include a change of scenery, as he shares videos of him enjoying a sunset near the water, while creating his miniature works. But Almeda’s pieces are impressive even without context, and look exactly like their larger counterpart in detail and proportion. His glazes are varied and rich and each piece is truly a one of kind. Take a look for yourself:

Kaua’i-based Dean McRaine was working as a family therapist for many years. To deal with the stress from treating dysfunctional families on a regular basis, he started doing ceramics. Although he had always been an artist, he learned ceramics from scratch.

What began as a self-taught hobby became McRaine’s vocation. Even though he has been doing it for over 30 years, he says that with ceramics, he always feels like there is something new to learn.

And indeed, this man’s free spirit and passionate creativity led him to invent a new style of psychedelic pottery. For the last ten years, McRaine has been running his LightWave pottery shop in Hawaii, where he sells pottery made of colored clay with unique patterns and colors.

Rather than painting over ceramic, McRaine not only uses colored clay but also makes his own glazes. The process is very demanding, as he has to create blocks from multiple colors, cut them with wires, and put them into new molds. But the result is more than worth it. His pottery is a real work of art, and a real treat for fans of psychedelic aesthetics.
