Sasha Court’s vessels exist in the space where craft becomes contemplation. Her hand built ceramics unfold slowly, guided by intuition and rhythm, allowing each piece to reveal itself through the marks of making, fingerprints, subtle asymmetries, and textural variations that speak to presence and process. These vessels balance dualities of strength and fragility, volume and delicacy, structure and softness. More than objects, they are quiet companions that invite closeness and time, holding space for reflection, feeling, and human complexity.

From her studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sasha brings a uniquely layered background to her practice. Before turning to ceramics full time, she studied engineering and spent nearly two decades in the tech industry. This analytical foundation informs her creative approach, yet she describes ceramics as a path toward presence and purpose, an intuitive, almost spiritual practice that reconnects mind and body through touch and materiality.

Her hand-built vessels explore the space between form and feeling. Guided by intuition and rhythm, she allows each piece to emerge slowly, embracing traces of the making process such as finger marks, asymmetries, and subtle imperfections as part of the work’s resonance. Her ceramics dwell in dualities of strength and fragility, weight and delicacy, structure and softness. More than objects, they are quiet companions, holding presence, intimacy, and a kind of beauty that asks for closeness and time. Each piece becomes a reflection of what it means to be human, containing both ache and awe in form.

Sasha’s work has been shown in Paris, New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Sydney. We are honored to have Sasha on our Desert Design Week artist roster and are grateful to share a collection of her beautiful work with designers and collectors.
