Ama Adansi-Pipim

material, artefacts & the importance of home

As a British-born Ghanaian designer-maker, Ama Adansi-Pipim’s practice explores the connection between material, artefacts and the importance of home. Her experiences, upbringing and cultural context influences the production and creation of her ceramic vessels.

With a background in architecture and art, Ama values the process and conceptualisation of ideas. Therefore, she develops and creates objects and vessels that are experiential and aim to evoke the user’s/observer’s senses. In developing and crafting her work, Ama’s richly textured work reimagines artefacts by placing them in everyday spaces, making her work accessible to wider audiences.

Ama’s creative practice is divided into two strands: sculptural collectible objects, and commercial products such as functional tableware. Both categories involve a distinct exploration of processes, with works produced through either hand-carved or wheel-thrown methods and finished with engobes and earthy-tone celadon glazes.
