Ceramics & Clay
Amara Osei
Amara shapes vessels from local clay harvested along the Rio Grande watershed, embedding ancestral Ghanaian and Pueblo patterns into every piece. Her work bridges two traditions of earth-working — one from West Africa, one from the American Southwest — finding the common ground in the land itself.
In Their Own Words
"I came to Taos in 2014 following the clay. The soil here has a memory. When I fire a piece, I'm not just making a bowl — I'm making a record of this place, this moment, this earth."
