This article looks at five women who have shaped their lives around clay through steady practice, patient experimentation and close attention to the world around them. From glaze research to handbuilt forms, coloured porcelain to thoughtful functional ware, their approaches vary widely, yet all share a commitment to slow work, careful observation and a willingness to teach and support others in the field. Together, they offer a clear view of how contemporary ceramics grows through curiosity, routine and long-term engagement with material.

From oil paint and ceramics to glass and fiber, three women artists—Kate Van Doren, Andriana Yemetta Kedariti, and Karen Mooney—share how they use their creativity to build connection, heal past wounds, and carry personal and cultural stories forward.

“I paint because I love it,” says Cher Pruys, the self-taught hyperrealist whose art captures everyday beauty with breathtaking detail. In this honest and inspiring chat, she shares her path, her process, and what keeps her going.

“I don’t think much about legacy, but I hope my work helps people feel something,” says Andriana Yemetta Kedariti. In this interview, the Cypriot ceramicist shares how her childhood, cultural roots, and love for ancient pottery inspire her handmade vessels—and why art will always be a part of her life.
