also wrote up an artist statement there if you're curious about the thought process behind this series

Hello! I'm Samirah and I just joined Bluesky a few days ago.

I've been making nature inspired functional pottery in a range of styles for 13 years. Here are photos of past work. Recent work incorporates regional rocks and minerals into my clays and glaze.

#portfolioday
#ceramics #pottery
A close up of a sculpted porcelain skeleton with her hand on her skull. Embedded in clay that was sculpted to resemble a rocky, mossy surface. Several desert inspired ceramic mugs wheel thrown using a tan clay with the lower exterior unglazed and featuring sculpted flowering cacti. The upper exterior is glazed in a sky blue. My hand holding a porcelain mug with a sculpted, glazed dung beetle (and a ceramic ball of dung behind the beetle). The mug is glazed with a dark, sparkly aventurine glaze that I developed in 2019. Several porcelain clay pots sculpted to look rocky, with cacti or moss wedged into fractures in the clay surface. In the front is a ceramic basket form with a handle shaped like a hoodoo arch bridge. The interior is glazed deep turquoise.

love a good before & after glaze firing comparison. so shiny! ✨

#pottery #ceramics #underglaze #art
Unglazed ceramic plate painted with a red-and-black pattern and a handwritten quote in newspaper font. Quote reads: "ARE YOUR GROCERIES CLEAN?" The dust blown about by the wind in a city street is full of bacteria and all sorts of vile contamination. If fruits and vegetables are exposed for sale on the sidewalk without covering, they must invariably accumulate a stock of filth which is not a good thing for the stomachs of human beings." Same plate as in the previous image, but clear glazed and fired. The colors are much more vibrant and glossy.
