Anna Shipulina

Anna Shipulina works primarily with hand built ceramic forms defined by soft movement, organic lines, and restrained palettes. Her practice emphasizes simplicity in both color and structure, drawing from natural forms and the human body.

A significant portion of her work is left unglazed, preserving the raw surface of the clay. Texture and touch are central, inviting direct interaction and emphasizing the material’s tactile qualities. Subtle imperfections and visible hand marks remain, reinforcing the presence of the maker. Shipulina relies on traditional hand building techniques, allowing the clay to guide the process. Forms develop through intuition rather than replication, resulting in vessels that feel organic and singular. Her work reflects an ongoing exploration of female identity, resilience, and transformation, expressed through the body and the material itself.
