Mahsa Masjoudi’s Small, Porous Figures

mahsamasjoudi.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A ceramics studio presenting hand-built figures that sit somewhere between river stone, pumice, and the human body.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The figures are hand-built and fired without glaze, leaving open pores and fine iron speckle that the page compares with volcanic stone. Their expressions come from a single eye-pressing gesture, while the kiln determines later changes in color and surface. The artist makes pieces singly and in small groups; paired figures are described as creating a conversation in the space between them. Available work, commissions, and studio visits are handled through email rather than visible pricing or checkout.
