Segawa made a name for himself by creating miniature pieces that in no way, shape, or form deteriorate from full-size pieces. This talented ceramicist is able to get all the details right and make an appealing structure while working on bits that can fit on one’s palm.

According to Segawa, he aims to explore the relationship between the artists and their works.

“Miniature pottery relates to the issue of the relationship between artists’ bodies and their works. It is a challenge to test the limits of what a human body can make on such a small scale,” he says on his official website.

Check out some of his works below.

It sort of took off from there. While her studies at KASK School of Arts in Ghent, Belgium, certainly propelled her interest in ceramic art, Daneels actually learned the ins and outs of the trade through YouTube tutorials. But she admits that the passion for ceramics sparked much earlier than that, while watching her grandmother make porcelain dolls. “I’ve seen her making them since I was born,” she says. “I was always fascinated when I entered her workspace and saw all the porcelain heads, bodies and her huge collection of old fabrics.”

Rather than making dolls, Daneels’ ceramic sculptures take after everyday objects, turning them into coveted items that should be admired rather than tossed aside. These objects, though common, carry a special meaning to Daneels. “I made a selection of objects that play an important role in my memories and my personal life story,” she says. “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.”

Take a look at some of her thought-provoking creations.

Things started taking shape when a group of her friends formed an art collective. “It was never a serious thing, just a bunch of creative nuts throwing ideas about and drinking red wine,” admits Meek. “Somehow we managed to get hold of this lovely, crumbling four-story building and spent a good few months in it, larking about and just being free and creative. It was a beautiful time.” It also encouraged her to take the required leap of faith and become a fully fleshed artist (“I decided I’m never going to be a 9-5 person,” she jokes).

Based in Derby, England, Meek’s work has been exhibited throughout the UK. She’s especially known for her ceramic figurines and tiny, wonky, people, that take many shapes and forms. But she admits that being an artist means learning from trial and (much) error. “At any given time, its’ really about continually bettering myself as an artist, and as a person,” she says. “Some people learn academically, others through social activity and experience. I’m definitely the latter.”

“I feel like everything I end up making in some way ties back to my past,” said the Texas-based ceramic artist in an interview with Analog Watch Co.’s blog. “I often find myself thinking about objects I loved growing up and try to give them new life and context.”

“I grew up in a very creativity focused household,” he went on to say. “My dad was always at a drafting board and my mom did a lot of drawing and glasswork. To me, art was just natural, and the more and more I worked at it the more it became an integral part of my life and my identity.”

Influenced by simplistic geometry contrasted by fluid motion, his objects confound and delight. Something to buy that hipster friend of yours whose seemingly unimpressed.

One of her more outlandish creations is a ceramic shark head, which is made to hang on your wall. “I feel that sharks are misunderstood, even by me,” says Stern. “I am not a shark expert, but I am interested in how our fear can play a role in how we treat things that scare us. By making the sharks in bright colors, and with goofy expressions invited you to see sharks up close with a new perspective.”

Indeed, Stern doesn’t shy away from frightening subjects like predatory animals or even death (one series of sculptures is based around seemingly friendly ghosts). Those are explored through humoristic (sometimes goofy) lenses. “As someone who is afraid of a lot of stuff, I feel that it is an interesting challenge to bring scary subjects into a positive light,” she says.

“A lot of the mediums that I work with are associated with kid crafts, and it could be that I only feel that way because they are mediums I’ve been using since I was a kid,” said Kimmel in an interview with Consort Design. “Sometimes I’ll really start to think about my work and I’m like, ‘Ok, I’m not an artist, I’m a 10-year-old living in an apartment’. Other times I’m like, ‘I AM an artist and my soul is 7 feet tall.’ I think that is a weird insecurity a lot of artists have – so maybe I became an artist when I started feeling that way.”

Since receiving her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015 where she studied ceramics, video, and painting, she’s been working from her studio in the Mojave Desert, California. Over the years, her style has remained fairly unchanged, but her craftsmanship has improved, and so has her sense of direction.

In other words: more fun is coming your way!

Since graduating from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2014 with a BFA in ceramics, Hood sells her own unique designs online and in-person at markets and open studios. According to her website, her surface design is very much inspired by animals, wallpaper, nature, and ink wash paintings.

“Nature is such an important part of her life and her artwork,” reads her website, with her pieces also providing careful reminders of the cost of modern living, while portraying threatened and endangered species of animals.

And when it comes to the work itself, she follows her advice to other aspiring artists: doing her absolute best. “Everyone wants to learn from/employ the best of the best,” she told the Boston Voyager, “so strive to be the best at what you’re passionate about and everything should fall into place. Pick up any job you can, no matter how small and insignificant because you can learn a lot from any experience and that will help you in the future.”

Here are some of our favorite pieces by her.

“My design background has 100% influenced my ceramic work,” she told Sight Unseen. “I didn’t set out to make that happen, it was a very natural progression. As I was learning how to work with clay I didn’t make the connection right away and I thought pieces were supposed to be earthy and organic. This was previous to the new wave of contemporary ceramics, Instagram and Pinterest and it was harder to come across things that weren’t as traditional.”

Her ceramic work might be untraditional, but it sure as heck is pretty. Colored in light pastel colors, she makes the sort of ceramic treats that’s very now (and yet, completely worth the hype). And with more than 30k fans on Instagram alone, the internet is buzzing.

“I like knowing that a vessel can just be a vessel and that its function is determined by how it fits into your life and home,” says Hampton. “There are certain things I make, that I’ve purposely made with that idea in mind, and other things that have a more obvious function or others that are purely sculptural. I love it when people tell me they use a mug as a plant pot or a plant pot as a soup bowl or a soup bowl as… anything. The world is everyone’s ceramic oyster!”

Her pieces might just get your creative juices flowing:

Wedner’s ceramics mostly consist of glazed porcelain cups and bowls that are covered in all sorts of different motifs including fingers, toes, and faces. This results in one-of-a-kind creations that are quickly gaining popularity both in the US and worldwide.

The process of making these ceramics isn’t an easy one, as Wedner spends significant amount of time on the preparation and the designs.

“From start to finish this process takes weeks,” – he explains. “Each individual piece has at least a dozen hours in it before it’s up for sale.”

Wedner sells his creations on Etsy, while also exhibiting them in LA galleries. Check out some of his ceramic art below.

Kemperink is known for her intriguing pieces that she creates by linking hundreds of ceramic circles together. This results in impressive sculptures that can change form and take many appearances. 

According to the artist, her creations represent the connection of her passions for textile, clay, dance, and fashion.  

“Motion is a key part of the expressiveness of my sculptures.” – Kemperink wrote on her website. “The movements show the importance of each circle of the object. Every ring is essential and influences the other: because they are all connected. Moving the sculptures leads to an ongoing change in shape, space, sound and feeling. My creations are constructed from rings of clay, which symbolize connection.”

Check out some of her shape-shifting sculptures below.
