About Amani Ceramics:

As a potter, Amani is not interested in production pottery. She prefers exploring the process in a less result-oriented context. Becoming a potter to her meant embarking on a journey, destination unknown. Pottery making is a very technical craft, through diligent practice, repetition and perseverance she has begun to grasp the layers of skill and understanding required to make proper pottery. In the potter’s craft, she believes that she needs to be humble to accept the challenges and embrace them as a learning opportunity rather that an obstacle and discouragement. For her the process requires a quiet and a calm mind, hands and eyes working together in order to execute an idea into a tangible object.
