Small Almond Vase 1

One-off hand-built by Dutch ceramic artist Luna Mara, for Volume Ceramics.

Back to Amsterdam after a few months in Denmark with the ceramic- and performance artist Christin Joansson, she decided to launch her ceramics studio. She sublimates incidents and intuition in functional vases, which can be displayed as sculptures.

While letting my ceramic pieces dry or rest, I sit down and stitch away for hours, almost in a meditative state. Both of these disciplines are connected by an underlying curiosity of rituals, symbolism and our intuitive connection to nature.
