Ceramic art rooted in nature & exploration
Made with meaning, a sense of adventure and respect for the natural world
Amelia Johannsen is a contemporary ceramic artist based near Barcelona, creating nature-inspired ceramic sculpture, sculptural vessels, wall work and mixed-media art.
My work is an extension of who I am
I’m a mother, a nature-lover, adventurer, and someone who cares deeply about my impact on the world. I create ceramic pieces slowly and intentionally—objects made to support well-being, presence, and a long life in your home.
“There is something deeply grounding about Amelia’s work. I placed one of
her vases by my window in Copenhagen, and it feels like a tide mark left behind by the sea. It reminds me to slow down, to notice, to breathe.”
— Lina E., Denmark
In constant conversation
I work in small batches, creating one-of-a-kind ceramic sculptures, vessels and functional pieces. Erosion, fracture, tide lines, weathered stone and forests often find their way into the surfaces and forms. The work develops through experimentation with materials, techniques and ideas shifting from one piece to the next.
“I found Amelia’s ceramics while searching for something to gift my partner. We live in the Pacific Northwest and are drawn to raw, elemental beauty. Her work felt like it belonged with us instantly. It tells a story without words.”
— Maya T., USA
My work is made to be lived with
For those who love tactile surfaces and value meaning and longevity over trends.
I create sculptural and functional ceramic objects in my one-woman studio near Barcelona. Each piece is shaped slowly, guided by material, landscape and intuition.
Every release is limited — when a piece is gone, it’s truly gone.
