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.

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.

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.

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.

When it comes to ceramic art, it’s hard to catch us off guard. But Wyatt Little’s nostalgia-inducing ceramic objects do just that, adding a playful twist to what we’ve come to recognize as a traditional form of art-making. A ’90s child at heart, his creations include a basketball-shaped vase and a “computer planter.”

“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.

Lorien Stern’s goal in life is simple but worthwhile: to create artwork that makes other people feel good. Her ceramic sculptures – whimsical, playful, and child-like – do just that. Based in Inyokern, California (a small town in the Western Mojave Desert), her brand also consists of clothing, home goods, and accessories.

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.

Take a look for yourself.

The driving force in Katie Kimmel’s ceramic art is playfulness. Describing her humor as 98% angel, 2% devil, her pieces tend to center around themes like food and animals: a flower vase shaped like a dog or a ceramic shrimp cocktail set. It isn’t meant to be practical, but with almost 40k followers on Instagram – people don’t seem to mind that very much.

“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!

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.

When it comes to ceramic art, it’s hard to catch us off guard. But Wyatt Little’s nostalgia-inducing ceramic objects do just that, adding a playful twist to what we’ve come to recognize as a traditional form of art-making. A ’90s child at heart, his creations include a basketball-shaped vase and a “computer planter.”

“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.

Lorien Stern’s goal in life is simple but worthwhile: to create artwork that makes other people feel good. Her ceramic sculptures – whimsical, playful, and child-like – do just that. Based in Inyokern, California (a small town in the Western Mojave Desert), her brand also consists of clothing, home goods, and accessories.

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.

Take a look for yourself.

The driving force in Katie Kimmel’s ceramic art is playfulness. Describing her humor as 98% angel, 2% devil, her pieces tend to center around themes like food and animals: a flower vase shaped like a dog or a ceramic shrimp cocktail set. It isn’t meant to be practical, but with almost 40k followers on Instagram – people don’t seem to mind that very much.

“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!
