Ceramics (Mahalia)


I started making ceramics two years ago as a way to explore my creativity in a more visual and physical form, unconstrained by outside influences.

With pottery, I don’t need to make my art look realistic, or symetrical , or have a deeper meaning the way classical art does. It gives me the freedom to imagine and play around with colour, shape, and structure. And best of all, even if I ‘failed’ at making something, it didn’t matter because I never really knew how it was going to end up in the first place. There are only happy accidents in pottery.
 
About:
Jeng and Mahalia are a creative duo that couldn’t be more different. Jeng likes swimming in freezing lakes, Mahalia enjoys hot bubble baths. Jeng is a camper, Mahalia is a glamper. Ones from North London, the other South. And yet somehow they managed to join forces, a non-binary asian they/them and cis-gendered black woman, to fight crime (racism) and tick every possible diversity box on a DEI census. It just works.

We also make ads. Jeng does the pictures, Mahalia does both.
