Welcome to the world of Amanda Hummes, a Brazilian-born artist whose work with clay explores the organic and transformative nature of this ancient medium.
Artistic Approach
Amanda’s work primarily employs two techniques: coil and slab. The slab technique is often used for utilitarian pieces or to create geometric forms, while the coil method fosters a deeper, more intimate connection with the material. “I spend hours with one single piece, which allows me to listen to the clay and follow its natural flow,” Amanda explains.
Her creative process is deeply intuitive—she often starts with drawings, exploring different possibilities, but ultimately, it’s the tactile experience of working with clay that guides the final form. “It’s about bringing the idea into the studio and allowing the clay to speak for itself,” she says.
Each piece is a reflection of Amanda’s ongoing journey with ceramics, where every touch, curve, and form is a conversation between artist and material. Through her work, she invites you to witness the beauty of clay’s fluidity and the endless possibilities it holds.
