About the Artist

Made by hand,
made to be lived with

I'm Sabrina L. Kellams. I make pottery and sculpture from a small studio in Seattle, where every piece is shaped, coiled, or carved by hand from local stoneware and reclaimed porcelain.

I trained as a painter at Cornish College of the Arts before clay pulled me in a different direction. Painting taught me to think about composition, surface, and color, and learning to translate that thinking into three dimensions has shaped how I work ever since. A vessel is a kind of canvas that you walk around. I learned the craft of ceramics the older way, through a studio apprenticeship and more than fourteen years at the wheel and the worktable, and I'm still learning.

"I don't make work for spaces. I make it for the people who live in them."

Functional pieces are made to be used. They go in the dishwasher, hold soup, hold flowers, hold up to a household. Sculptural work is made to be lived around, the kind of object you notice differently in morning light than at dinner.

How it works

From conversation
to creation

1

Consultation

We discuss your vision, space, and intention. I ask questions that help me understand not just what you want, but why.

2

Concept sketch

Hand-drawn studies and clay maquettes explore form, proportion, and surface. You receive sketches for review and direction.

3

Forming & firing

The clay body is shaped over days, dried slowly, bisque-fired, glazed by hand, and then kiln-fired to the proper cone temperature.

4

Delivery

Each finished piece is wrapped in archival linen and delivered with a signed certificate of authenticity and care instructions.

Collectors say

The pieces speak
for themselves

"The vase Sabrina created for our entryway stopped every visitor in their tracks. It's more than an object — it's a conversation."

Lena Hartmann
Interior designer, Munich

"I commissioned a wall sculpture for our restaurant — it anchors the whole space. Sabrina was patient, intuitive, and deeply professional."

Jonas Bremer
Restaurateur, Seattle, Washington

"We bought three pieces at the Hamburg fair. Each time we look at them we notice something new. That's the sign of real art."

Sophie & Daniel Kim
Private collectors, Seoul

"The firing process alone is worth watching on her Instagram. The finished raku piece we received was beyond anything we imagined."

Marcus Vidal
Art director, Barcelona
