The post Maceteo’s Tiny Planters are as Adorable as it Gets appeared first on TheWanderWit.
]]>Maceteo attracted over 40,000 Instagram followers since launching their page on this social media platform, and they’re showing no signs of stopping. They specialize in selling 100% handmade collectible ceramic pots that pay homage to Mother Nature in the most adorable way possible.
Animals are the major source of inspiration for this talented artist, and most of their tiny planters are shaped like different animals. Cats, dogs, koalas, and elephants served as Maceteo’s source of inspiration, but we’ve also seen this artist pay homage to several extinct species with their signature dinosaur planters with outstretched necks, that make it seem like the dinos are eating the plants they’re carrying.
Maceteo’s planters usually come in small sizes and that’s not a coincidence – they’re made with succulents in mind and can’t fit bigger plants. In addition to using the power of social media to share their work with the world, Maceteo occasionally hosts workshops, helping other pottery lovers master the basic techniques of modeling and decorating clay.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.

]]>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.
