Matt Machouki 

Matt creates large, coiled and turned stoneware pots influenced by natural forms, industrial design, architecture, and geometric patterns. Some pieces are crafted in sections and joined with rope or wire.
Often left unglazed, they display subtle variations in color and texture derived from the clay itself.

Inspiration from the seaside, characterized by vibrant and fresh aesthetics.
Using a cast of characters, including Donkey, Crow, Angry Man, and Bandit Cat, she explores relationships and situations through deceptively simple storytelling.
