The Work
Wavy Clays ceramics are made in small batches using primarily stoneware. Pieces often feature organic designs and raw clay, plus a mix of vibrant glazes, wheel thrown silhouettes and hand-built vessels. Each piece is unique.
Sustainability in the Studio
My goal is to create a near-zero-waste studio while continuing to make ceramic art that sparks joy for all nature lovers, whether maximalists who love bold, illustrated pieces or minimalists who appreciate clean, functional forms. This means shipping in reused packaging, firing off-peak hours, and reusing water.
The Maker
Wavy Clays is a project encompassing my conversation between body, earth, and memory. I’m Amy, a ceramicist based in Canada, creating tactile, intuitive forms that hold space for both function and feeling.
I’m drawn to the way the body expands in wild places, how our forms soften and open in the presence of trees, tide, and stone. In clay, I find a way back to that origin, to the rhythms that continuously shape us. In my work, the vessel becomes a mirror of the body in relationship with the wild: curved, porous, expanding, alive.
I explore ancestral silhouettes, especially those found in Southern European traditions where everyday objects are made by hand, passed down, slowly altered over time. I work to honour those forms while allowing space for interpretation, intuition, and play.
