ART wom american artist en Avesha Michael ceramic & porcelain jewelry I have been a ceramic artist and potter since I was 7 years old growing up in Chicago. At 8 years old my teacher told me never to become a potter, (not knowing why at the time, I took her advice to heart) and left it for most my life. she meant the financial struggle of it, I didn’t understand at the time, but it was my one love and I didn’t want that.... so I only recently came back to it missing the medium and needing contact with clay. when i’m away from it for many days, I dream of throwing on the wheel, quite simply it’s my one true love. I’m now starting to put my work out there on a commercial scale. My porcelain jewelry and ceramics works come from the purest, most organic place within me and it’s truly my joy to share them with others. facebook website etsy
