Amber Smith is a ceramic artist and print maker based in Whakat (Nelson). Her work draws inspiration from te ao Maori and the nature surrounding us in Aotearoa. Her ceramics and prints spread messages of love, hope and self worth. Her work contains Whakatauk (Maori proverbs) and waiata (Maori songs), both in te reo and English to educate and connect. The words are wise and uplifting and give a beautiful feeling to the art, carrying a positive message to give to yourself or another. Each vessel is unique and one of a kind. Hand etched ceramic in matt ceramic with a golden gloss interior, each piece is formed with great care to create its natural organic shape and textured surface. Each is carefully hand painted and etched before being fired twice in a kiln. Size: 29 x 5. 5cm
