About GhadaHenaganCeramics

Sales 58
On Etsy since 2018
  • My favorite place, previously the dining room!
  • Attention to details.
  • I mostly hand-build.
  • And I make my own stamps...
  • I work on the potter's wheel from time to time!

I grew up in a small village in Lebanon, where my family and neighbors often had to make the things they needed themselves. So, naturally, I was drawn to handcrafting from an early age. When I wasn’t making puppets, sewing clothes for my doll, and building miniature furniture items to play with, I would teach myself to draw by copying the drawings of my older sister Lina. I was first introduced to clay during my art studies in college, but it wasn’t until I started working at the Antonine Sisters’ Workshop for Sacred Art in 2000 that I had a chance to really get acquainted with this material. I began crafting ceramic objects with religious themes and imagery, all the while developing my skills and learning as much as I could about working with clay. Then in 2006 I moved to Louisiana and, before long, I decided to become a full-time ceramic artist with the precious support of my husband. I set up a small studio in our dining room where I have been creating and experimenting with pottery ever since.
I find a lot of the inspiration for my work in natural elements that evoke nostalgia in me. My work’s narrative helps me connect the person I am today with the child I once was and find links between Louisiana and my native Lebanon.

    I have been making pots for the last eleven years in my home studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. What I love about working with clay is its endless possibilities that keep me enthusiastic and drive me to constantly broaden my horizons.
