what if a part of you
can take another form as clay?
if you were clay
is an ongoing ceramic project,
released in seasonal volumes, where your stories
become the starting point for a personal ceramic portrait.
Through a series of reflective prompts
focused around each volume’s theme.
You are invited to share a little of who you are —
your stories, memories, changing thoughts, and fleeting feelings.
Your words become the starting point for my interpretation,
taking form as I handcraft a ceramic portrait that reflects
not simply how you look, but something of who you are.
the process itself
01 / your story
You fill in a series of reflective prompts,
sharing a little of your world.
02 / i’ll interpret
I’ll read, reflect, and let your story inspire
a sketch alongside written words meant for you.
03 / clay takes shape
Your portrait sculpture will begin taking shape,
thoughtfully & intentionally hand crafted.
there is always something left to say,
and something worth remembering..
A thought we never quite put into words.
A version of ourselves we've since outgrown.
A little something we hope to carry with us,
even as everything else changes.
This volume begins with these little pieces of ourselves
— the things we keep, the things we leave behind,
and the things we are still learning to love.

Each piece is made with 800g of clay. However, the final weight of the piece will vary depending on how it is shaped.
Sizes of the ceramic portrait can range from 10cm~18cm (height) x 10~15cm (width) as they need to be able to fit into the packaging box. -
