Toronto-Based Miranda is a former interior designer who has been focusing more and more on ceramics in the past few years. Her interest in ceramics comes from her days as a design student who also minored in ceramics. One day, in her ceramics class, she received an assignment – to use the throwing wheel to create a lidded object. She happily accepted the assignment and started looking for inspiration.

Miranda has a special love for ancient cultures and for animals, so she instinctively wen to look for ideas in Ancient Egyptian art. In her art history books, she learned about Egyptian Canopic jar – jars there were used to preserve the deceased’s internal organs in the mummification process, and were buried with him. The jars were usually shaped like Egyptian gods with animal heads.  Miranda decided to create her own take on the ancient tradition and design her own line of Canopic jars, shaped like animals.

 Miranda shares her Canopic jars on her IG account. What started out as a small classroom assignment has turned out into a whole line of products, with dozens of tiny, adorable jars, Check out her work below.

“My work is constantly changing as I explore new ways of creating pattern, texture, and form,” the artist shared on his personal website. “I am deeply fascinated by the underlying randomness in the patterns and structures of nature, and I attempt to replicate some of those effects in my work.”

His love for pottery was born in high school, and his latest work, the multi-colored porcelain is the result of 5 years of experimentation with marbling colored slips.

“My ceramic knowledge is self-taught, and I am most interested in exploring processes that are not common knowledge,” he told Bored Panda. “I continue to learn every day through my experimentation.”
