Australian ceramics artist Cher has been fantasizing about opening her own art studio for years, and her dream finally came true! She found viral success with her handmade ceramics brand Ma Debyc, and her creations fully embrace the trendy coquette aesthetic.

Cher is an artist from Sydney, Australia, who started doing a full-time finance job after graduating with a degree in interior design. Her corporate job didn’t stop her from chasing her dream of becoming a ceramics artist, an obsession she had been fixated on since her childhood years.

Her brand Ma Debyc was born, and Cher is now on the quest to add a touch of magic to people’s everyday lives with her dreamy handmade pottery.

“I make all pieces by hand from hand-building the clay to painting glaze which means no two pieces are the same. All my ceramics are crafted with obsessive attention to detail and of course with so much love… I am so grateful to be able to make ceramic pieces that brighten up your days,” she writes on her Etsy page.

Cher’s creations are deeply rooted in the coquette aesthetic, and she lists flowers, anything pink, vintage moods, and sweets as her main sources of inspiration. Her mugs, cups, bowls, and plates will win you over with their romantic vibe, pastel colors, and such dreamy details as bows, fruits, and flowers.

Ceramic artist Jacques Monneraud recently presented a new series of vessels that look like they were made using cardboard. However, the “Cardboard” pieces, which include vases, pots, and pitchers, can be safely used around water because they are, in fact, made out of ceramics.

Monneraud went to great lengths in order to create the cardboard effect of his ceramic pieces. The artist managed to replicate the cardboard’s signature color, included ridges, and even made it look like the individual pieces of cardboard were taped together using scotch tape.

“First, its paradoxical nature: unalterable cardboard. I liked this idea. I’ve always been very sensitive to things that time can damage. Second, its apparent simplicity: three pieces of cardboard, two chunks of scotch tape, a pitcher,” Monneraud shared on Instagram.

As you might guess, making cardboard ceramics was far from an easy feat. Monneraud used a mix of three different stonewares while also making hundreds of tests in order to make the glaze look like a scotch tape.

However, it all paid off, because ceramic enthusiasts were impressed with his works with the first batch being sold out in no time. Until the second batch comes out, check out more of pieces from Cardboard series below.

It’s been 30 years since Deana Coveney fell in love with clay, and nature has always been her biggest driving force. She’s the mastermind behind Vuvu Ceramics, who specializes in making nature-inspired botanical art that will bring forest magic to your fingertips.

Coveney is a ceramic artist based in Encinitas, California, and she’s been working with clay for over three decades. She fell in love with it because she sees it as an expressive and personal medium, and all her pieces are made with no molds, no apprentices, and no mass production methods, entirely by hand.

“Each work captures a small world and is meant to bring joy and light to your home. I love creating ceramic art, and my wish is for it to make you happy from the moment you open the package and to fill you with joy every time you see it,” she explains on her official website.

Nature is Coveney’s biggest source of inspiration, and she’s on the quest to bring forest magic to life through her art. She sees magic in every leaf and flower and often presses them against clay to make unique ceramic pieces. Coveney also wants her creations to have a storybook aesthetic, and her figurines are often adorned with foxes, owls, and other woodland creatures.

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.

Julia Pilipchatina is a ceramic artist based in Belgium who makes unique “bug-infested” plates. Her ceramic works are adorned with insect artworks, showing an array of colorful bugs like beetles, stink bugs, ladybugs, and more.

It isn’t unusual to see insect-inspired art on ceramics, but Pilipchatina’s does it is really special. She opts for large illustrations that stretch across the entire length of the plate. She also depicts the bugs in an amazingly detailed way while introducing exotic colors to adorn their wings, antennas, and legs.

According to Pilipchatina, her fascination with insect-inspired art started with watercolor drawings. She decided to transfer them to ceramics, being intrigued by the role that plates have in the traditions of various cultures.

“By choosing a unique plate for ourselves, we draw upon our own values, and—I hope—these objects remain in our families as a testament to the lives of past generations,” Pilipchatina told Colossal in a recent interview.

If you like Pilipchatina’s plates, you will be happy to hear that the artist has an Etsy shop through with she makes her ceramics available for purchase. She also regularly shares her newest work on social media. Continue scrolling to check out few more below.

Ariana Heinzman is a Vashon Island, Washington-based artist who creates clay pieces that are part vessels and part ceramic sculptures. Thanks to their colorful and quirky designs, her creations can serve as a flower vase but also as standalone decorative artwork.

A big reason why Heinzman’s clay vessels are so great is that the artist doesn’t strive for perfection according to her own admittance. She allows her intuition to take the driver’s seat during the process of creating a piece, resulting in one-of-a-kind creations.

Describing her work, Heinzman says it’s meant to “represent the duality of the desire to escape and succumb to nature and the desire to control nature and to be drawn into human civilization.” Her designs are based on the imagery found in nature and borrow patterns from leaves, flowers, and fruit. This is why it isn’t surprising that colors play an important part in the artist’s creative process.

“I use vibrant colors like a bird of paradise would, or perhaps a flower, or a juicy fruit; as an invitation to pick up what I am putting down, to cross-pollinate, to take a bite, etc.,” she explains.

Philip Kupferschmidt is an Orange County-based ceramic artist who makes unique vases and mugs. Kupferschmidt’s ceramic creations seem like they have been melting at one point before being frozen in time. The artist achieves this effect by glazing the mugs and vases with drops of clay to simulate dripping. He also gives them unusual shapes that resemble what happens when something is exposed to high heat.

According to his website, Kupferschmidt is interested in “exploring unique approaches decorative and functional ceramics through design, color and glaze experimentation.”

Aside from working on his original pieces, Kupferschmidt is no stranger to collaborations with other artists. For example, he recently teamed up with San Francisco-based artist Calvin Wong to create vessels that combine their styles. Wong contributed with signature facial expressions on ceramics, while Kupferschmidt added the “melting” effect.

His collaboration with fellow ceramic artist Faye Hadfield has also been a complete success. Hadfield created demon-like vessels that Kupferschmidt made even scarier with his special glaze.

Philip Kupferschmidt shares his newest works and collaborations on his social media. He also runs a webshop on his website that allows people to buy his works.

Based in Madrid, Julieta Álvarez is a signature-ceramic brand specialized in jewelry and deco. Run by sisters Julieta and Rocio Álvarez, all of their products are handmade so that every piece is unique, a piece of art that serves a decorative function.

Structural in nature, Álvarez’s pieces 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. They’re also sold in more than 20 countries over five continents.

With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Álvarez says she fell in love with ceramics after taking a course with Resu Labrador. “I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she shared with 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.”

She recalls being mesmerized with ceramics when she was just a child. “When I was a kid I played a bit with ceramic, my dad is pretty good molding and he used to bring pottery lumps home.”

Her designs nowadays rely on shapes and dramatic contrasts. “I’m so interested in contrasts,” she says. “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.”

Such “organized chaos” is to be expected when scrolling through the sisters’ collections.

Japanese ceramic artist Yuta Segawa takes a whole new approach to this art that raises the bar for all other ceramicists out there. Segawa not only makes colorful and great looking ceramic pieces like vases, cups, and bowl, but he also manages to do it while working on a much smaller scale.

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.

Louise Daneels first contact with clay was during her Erasmus year in Leipzig, while studying for her master’s degree in a whole other field—illustration. “In our illustration class, we were set a project around space,” she recalled in an interview with Its Nice That. “I wanted to recreate the inside of the international space station bathroom, because I find it fascinating how astronauts do their personal hygiene in space. I had to find a material to make ‘space hygiene tools’ with, and air-drying clay seemed the nicest and easiest material to work with.”

A post shared by Louise Daneels (@louisedaneels) on

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.

Philip Kupferschmidt is an Orange County-based ceramic artist who makes unique vases and mugs. Kupferschmidt’s ceramic creations seem like they have been melting at one point before being frozen in time. The artist achieves this effect by glazing the mugs and vases with drops of clay to simulate dripping. He also gives them unusual shapes that resemble what happens when something is exposed to high heat.

According to his website, Kupferschmidt is interested in “exploring unique approaches decorative and functional ceramics through design, color and glaze experimentation.”

Aside from working on his original pieces, Kupferschmidt is no stranger to collaborations with other artists. For example, he recently teamed up with San Francisco-based artist Calvin Wong to create vessels that combine their styles. Wong contributed with signature facial expressions on ceramics, while Kupferschmidt added the “melting” effect.

His collaboration with fellow ceramic artist Faye Hadfield has also been a complete success. Hadfield created demon-like vessels that Kupferschmidt made even scarier with his special glaze.

Philip Kupferschmidt shares his newest works and collaborations on his social media. He also runs a webshop on his website that allows people to buy his works.

Based in Madrid, Julieta Álvarez is a signature-ceramic brand specialized in jewelry and deco. Run by sisters Julieta and Rocio Álvarez, all of their products are handmade so that every piece is unique, a piece of art that serves a decorative function.

Structural in nature, Álvarez’s pieces 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. They’re also sold in more than 20 countries over five continents.

With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Álvarez says she fell in love with ceramics after taking a course with Resu Labrador. “I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she shared with 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.”

She recalls being mesmerized with ceramics when she was just a child. “When I was a kid I played a bit with ceramic, my dad is pretty good molding and he used to bring pottery lumps home.”

Her designs nowadays rely on shapes and dramatic contrasts. “I’m so interested in contrasts,” she says. “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.”

Such “organized chaos” is to be expected when scrolling through the sisters’ collections.

Japanese ceramic artist Yuta Segawa takes a whole new approach to this art that raises the bar for all other ceramicists out there. Segawa not only makes colorful and great looking ceramic pieces like vases, cups, and bowl, but he also manages to do it while working on a much smaller scale.

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.

Louise Daneels first contact with clay was during her Erasmus year in Leipzig, while studying for her master’s degree in a whole other field—illustration. “In our illustration class, we were set a project around space,” she recalled in an interview with Its Nice That. “I wanted to recreate the inside of the international space station bathroom, because I find it fascinating how astronauts do their personal hygiene in space. I had to find a material to make ‘space hygiene tools’ with, and air-drying clay seemed the nicest and easiest material to work with.”

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.
