Marianne Chemla is a ceramicist, sculptor & teacher with more than 20 years of experience. Her designs are best described as minimal & organic with distinct & sometimes subtle textures. Marianne’s ceramics are deeply inspired by nature: landscapes, horizons, snow & stillness. She wishes to bring joy, contemplation, beauty, meaning & delight to people’s lives, & offer an aesthetic pleasure while using everyday objects.
Marianne & Melinda’s relationship began as a friendship when Melinda first attended Marianne’s ceramic classes, & has since blossomed into a creative, playful & professional collaboration. They quickly found common ground in their enthusiasm in working with clay & exploring different minimalist design objects.
When Dominique, Apoterra’s founder, approached the duo in search of a soap dish, they challenged themselves to think of a functional yet simple form. They found joy in transforming a common object, the soap dish, into a textually expressive & organic shaped object to accompany Apoterra’s small-batch soaps.
All clay is sourced from the US (Kentucky, Tennessee, & Florida) & Canada (Ontario).
