Ghosts are seen as a symbol of death and the afterlife, and most people consider them scary, but Lisa Agnetun found a way to make them adorable. This talented ceramicist became a true social media sensation when she started creating adorable ceramic pieces inspired by ghosts.
Agnetun is a skilled ceramicist from Gothenburg, Sweden, who found viral fame after starting her brand Ghost Ceramics. Its name tells you everything you need to know about her creations, and she mostly makes tiny ghost-themed sculptures, wheel thrown from stoneware or porcelain clay in her small home studio.
Agnetun experimented with many other subjects since the start of her journey in the amazing world of ceramics, but ghosts eventually won her heart.
“Every time I open my kiln, I want to find new exciting things that I haven’t seen before. The ghosts are the only pieces that really stick with me. They’re all unique and keep evolving along with my other work, so there’s no chance for me to get bored with them,” she told Colossal.
Agnetun also decided to focus on ghosts because she loves the challenge of making dead souls come alive, and she prides herself in transforming such a symbol of death into something playful.
