About the Artist

Madeleine Marino

I am a lifelong ceramics artist who has recently specialized in miniature pottery. I originally learned to make more traditionally-sized wheel-thrown vessels, but when I became disabled by long Covid in 2022, I needed to find a method that would make ceramics accessible to my new body. That method was using a mini wheel.

I create tiny (~1 inch tall) vases in vibrant colors. Each pot will hold something for you. Physically, that might be a dried flower, or your cat's whiskers. Emotionally, it could be a secret, or a hope. Each amulet is infinite: when they are filled with what nourishes you, they will never run out. And when you use them to store what you can no longer hold, they will never be full.
