Hi, I’m Ari ✨ -founder of amaen ceramics. My work is inspired by quiet everyday rituals, and the beauty of imperfection. Thanks for being here.🖤

Each piece is hand-built with care, and shaped by my love for stillness and simplicity.

I love black clay for how honestly it shows texture. A thin veil of glaze catches the light, but the raw surface underneath stays bold, untouched. These bowls are a balance of control and surrender shaping what I can, and letting the kiln do the rest🌋

Shaped slowly, glazed with intention, made to hold more than matcha. A reminder that pause is a practice, not a luxury.

A moment of mindfulness.
A space to simply be. 🍵

Some days, all you need is something simple to hold onto.
A warm bowl, a grounding ritual, a breath you didn’t know you needed.

If you are seeing this on a busy day, it’s your sign to slow down.

Pour, breathe, return.🫂✨

❤️

I picked up this sculpture from the kiln today and had to laugh, that laugh when something you made feels almost impossible.🌝

Built with the coil technique from a red clay body and fired to 1280°C, it transformed into this flowing, cratered form that looks like it grew by itself. The fire brought out textures and movement I could never fully predict.

And the duality cracks me up:
I can create pieces like this, yet I still don’t really know how to attach handles properly.😆

Maybe that’s the beauty of it : the mix of mastery and mystery, the parts I understand and the parts the clay handles for me. This sculpture is all of that: coils, fire, surprise, and the joy of still learning.🤭

When I opened the kiln, these breakfast bowls glowed like weathered reefs 🎏 and layered, mineral, alive. 🎨

These were my first pieces, and the happiness of that moment still sits in my hands whenever I make something new.🪼🐙

Their colors reminded me of coral reefs, shifting and ancient. I’ll never forget the joy of that first kiln opening, when my very first bowls emerged and made me feel, for a moment, completely at home in clay. 💜🫂

Lately I’ve been noticing the quiet pull between gratitude and fear, between creating for love and creating for approval.

These thoughts have been sitting with me like gentle reminders: slow down, return to your hands, return to your breath.

There’s a kind of truth that only appears when I stop performing and simply let myself make.

If you’ve felt that tug too, consider this a small moment of companionship in the in-between.🫂🤍

Inspired by Nephele: the cloud nymph born from mist.🪽
These thumb cups carry a little piece of her sky.

I’ve always loved Greek mythology, especially the way its stories turn natural elements into living beings. Nephele has followed me for some time now this soft, drifting goddess shaped from clouds. 🤍💭

When I marble clay, it feels a bit like chasing her: swirling earth until it echoes the sky, letting the patterns settle however they wish. Each cup becomes its own small myth, a quiet moment of weather captured in form.

A reminder that even simple rituals can feel a little divine.🫂

Clay teaches me contrast.
Rough next to smooth, shadow beside light,
the quiet dialogue between what the earth gives
and what the hands choose.

I love leaning into those opposites and
letting textures collide, letting forms soften,
letting the camera find the tension and the calm.

Creating the right shooting atmosphere
feels like shaping the piece all over again:
listening, adjusting, following the feeling
until the object and the light finally speak
the same language. 🖤
