Illustrated ceramic sculpture by Malota

I love it when illustrators venture into ceramics; their knack for character design and storytelling lend themselves well to the creation of unique objects that bring their 2D world to life. So when I saw Mar Hernández, aka Malota, was making ceramics, I got excited.

Mar is an illustrator known for her bold, stylized shapes and strong characters (especially women). She’s now translating these features into a new collection of ceramic sculptures and painted plates. The stoneware figures, in particular, are a great example of how clever character design can feel like you’ve just made a new friend.

Mar is working hard on opening up her online store, Malota Ceramics. Follow her Instagram account to learn when the shop goes live.
