Thank you March for a very productive and fun month 💙

I use this bowl every day.
And every day I ask myself, “why did I ever stop using this glaze?”

I guess we’ll never know the answer to this mystery.

Happy Saturday
Have fun, and don’t forget to listen to your body 💙

I always wanted to mix materials, and here’s a first attempt at it.

Tiny container of secrets.
Ceramics and genuine leather.

Woke up feeling really grateful for clay.

But i also feel grateful to have a career that lets me freelance, manage my own time, and somehow support this very expensive and time consuming hobby that is ceramics.

I honestly can’t imagine a life without art and play.
And I wouldn’t want to.

These thorn mugs were inspired by something someone once told me at a market.

“I like to feel a bit of pain. It’s comforting to me.”

As a trauma survivor, I really related to that statement.

Sometimes a small sensation can bring you back to the present to remind you that you’re here, alive.

The little thorns on this mug are sharp enough to wake up your senses, but gentle enough not to actually break skin.

I love this mug because it reminds me a little bit of myself. It looks sweet and innocent from afar… but she’ll bite your head off if you aren’t nice.

This style has undergone many updates in recent years. I keep adjusting the way I add my color strips, and I finally feel 100% satisfied with the result. I can't stop admiring this mug; it's truly mesmerizing! The black & white versions are currently in the kiln, and I hope they turn out just as well.

And of course, I am already thinking about how V6 will look like... (gosh, so many versions, maybe I'll need to make a video about this lol)

I don’t own a lot of jewelry, but the pieces I do have all end up in the same small container. That means my necklaces love to mingle and create impossible knots that I don’t have the patience to untie.

So I made this.

Using leftover metal bits from some Christmas ornaments I made a few years ago, and a bit of imagination, this little jewelry holder was born.

I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I’ll be making a few more for my upcoming market

I can’t believe it took me this long to find my passion, but I feel so lucky to have something that brings me this much peace and happiness.

There’s something magical about discovering, after three decades on this planet, what makes your heart beat faster and makes time disappear.

When I touch clay, I feel fully myself.

It gives me permission to be messy, raw, always changing, and endlessly creative.

And that feels like home.

The Gãmbi Studios shop is finally live, and I can finally go back to play with dirt.

The past few weeks were full of screen time, freelancing, and a little head injury that forced me to slow down.

Today I’m back in the studio.
Fresh clay. Clean slate.

The shop is live at gambistudios.com

Guys.

I have been putting off announcing this because I am, in fact, a scared cat.

But the shop is open. It is live. It works. I figured out international shipping. And I have been making the coziest ceramics to make your everyday a little brighter.

If you want to sneak in before I gather the courage to properly announce it and everything is gone, a girl can dream, go have a look.

Truly though. This has been months of working behind the scenes. Designing, glazing, photographing, figuring out Shopify, doubting, learning, slowly descending into madness. I hope I did you all proud.

Four little apple jars, small, round, and dangerously cute.

I ended up snatching one for myself and putting it in my bathroom to hold the tiny things I use every day, hair bands, small earrings, little bits that would absolutely slip into the ether if they didn’t have a special spot. It makes me smile every time I reach for it, which feels like a win.

I love how these turned out. They’re small, but full of personality, and honestly, I may never stop making fruit shaped jars.

I may or may not be working on a large tomato next 🍅

This mug has been sitting in storage for a very long time, quietly waiting for the right moment to fly to her new home. Today is that moment. She’s heading to her new casa, to a dear friend who lost his marbles over this piece back in 2024.

One of my only attempts at throwing with cream cheese. Also known as porcelain.

It really does take a village to start a new business.

Some days, especially in a new country, the loneliness sneaks in. But moments like this remind me that I am never really alone. My village stretches across countries and continents, and I can feel the love coming from every corner of the world.

This bowl arrived today in Toronto, at the home of a dear friend I met almost 20 years ago in middle school in São Paulo, Brazil. Life took us far from each other, but somehow always kept us connected. She is one of my favorite artists, and I dream of having even 10% of her talent one day.

Grateful beyond words for friendships that grow, change in a positive way as we get older, and continue to show up, no matter the distance.

After a first failed test that ended with a broken mug handle, I realized how serious shipping fragile work really is. Ugh. So frustrating. But I am glad test number two worked out. I kicked the box, threw it on the floor, dropped it from a chair, and treated it exactly how I imagine a package might be treated on its worst day. With extra packing material and everything I learned from the first attempt, the test was finally a success.

This time, nothing broke. The system worked. And with that came a huge sense of relief and renewed confidence. I finally feel ready to start shipping, and confident that my ceramics have a real chance of arriving in one piece.

This little Cloud Cup started as boredom and a small pile of leftover blue clay.

No plan, no expectations. Just throwing, adding bits of colored clay as I went, and seeing what would happen. The blue ended up drifting across the surface like clouds, soft and a little unpredictable, which feels so peaceful and cute.

It has no handle, but a tiny waist that fits your fingers perfectly.

Discipline, I have none.

At least that’s how it feels. From the outside, it probably looks like I have some kind of routine. I have my day job, then the pottery studio around four/five times a week, even on Sundays, which are famously supposed to be for doing nothing.

But I cannot, for the life of me, stick to a throwing plan.

Yesterday I sat down fully intending to make more of these rice bowls because I fell in love with the shape and the size. Simple enough, right?
Except that in a very Sue fashion, I somehow ended up with two matcha bowls and four apple containers instead.

I’m slowly accepting that this is just how I work. Following my curiosity more than plans. Letting the clay take the wheel from time to time.

New style unlocked.

This one takes me back to my first ceramics teacher, the one who taught me how to destroy a brush so the strokes could come to life.

It makes me think of the ocean, of movement, and of the kind of beauty that comes from letting things be a little raw and a little messy.

It is blue, my favorite color, and defined by imperfect, expressive strokes that make each piece impossible to repeat. No two will ever be the same, and I love thing and people who do not fit in.

Delicate at first glance, yet made to last forever if loved properly.

This feels like an evolution that looks exactly like who I am.

A beautiful mess.

Have you ever made something that touched your soul this deeply?

Hey everyone,

I’m launching my handmade ceramics shop and need some help testing shipping to different regions. I’m looking for 4 volunteers: one each from the USA, Switzerland, Canada, and the EU.

Here’s how it works:

- I’ll send you a 100% discount code that can be used for any piece in my collection
- You pay for shipping only
- First come, first served

What I’m asking:

Just a review once your piece arrives

To be clear:

the product is free, but you will need to cover the shipping cost to your location.

If you’re interested, DM me with your location and I’ll send the selected volunteers the code and website link.

If it arrives broken. I’ll send a replacement. I’m truly terrified of packing.

Thanks for helping figure out worldwide shipping!
Love, Gãmbi Studios

My favorite mug from my first batch of experiments since becoming a member at @cafeauclayvancouver . First time experimenting with cobalt oxide and these waves turned out dreamy. She’s curvy, she’s ocean vibes, and I want to keep her for myself. Part of my Pacific Collection, my love letter to the west coast. Shop launching soon, so she needs a new home (even though it hurts because I want her for myself).

Oh! And of course I added a hidden smiley face at the base of the handle. 😊

2025 was the year I said yes to everything that scared me.

It started in Boston: carving out a small studio in our apartment, throwing bigger pots, finally nailing that hawk photo I’d been chasing. I launched Gãmbi Studios and jumped into my first craft markets (3 in one summer!!!), selling pieces I’d made in my home studio.

Then came the popcorn incident that nearly cost me a front tooth (never underestimate a kernel).

By summer, we’d sold all our plants, shipped our furniture to another country, and said more goodbyes than I thought possible. My husband, our dog, and I packed the car with two oil paintings and way too many unnecessary things and drove across the entire country. Niagara Falls, a Harley Davidson meetup in Ashtabula, Chicago, the Amish countryside, unexpected conversations with strangers in Minnesota farmland, the most charming pottery studio on a farm, the Badlands, an old camper beneath red Wyoming mountains, a bear and her cub in Yellowstone, a really good cowboy hat in Idaho, Portland (which feels like São Paulo’s zona sul), two weeks in a Seattle hotel, and finally, Canada.

I started and finished The Artist’s Way somewhere along this journey, learning more about myself than I expected.

Vancouver welcomed us with open arms. Found a pottery studio immediately, made new friends, solved our dog’s allergies, transformed an awful flat into a home we love. Mornings on Bowen Island watching volcanos and sunsets. Wired my first lamp. Captured my first good hummingbird photo. Became a studio member. Celebrated Christmas in our new home.

I was terrified I wouldn’t find work, and now I have 4 flexible income streams doing what I love.

This year taught me I’m capable of more than I give myself credit for. Home isn’t a place: it’s what you build with your hands and your heart, wherever you land.

Here’s to getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. #yearinreview

2025 was the year I said yes to everything that scared me.

It started in Boston: carving out a small studio in our apartment, throwing bigger pots, finally nailing that hawk photo I’d been chasing. I launched Gãmbi Studios and jumped into my first craft markets (3 in one summer!!!), selling pieces I’d made in my home studio.

Then came the popcorn incident that nearly cost me a front tooth (never underestimate a kernel).

Thank you so much for a lovely and oh-so-calming morning, @calligraphyzen.teresa from @shufa.foundation!

I think I’ll need more classes soon. I learned so much and I’m already craving more time with you

Summary of this week’s studio time. Feeling productive but wishing I could have more play time.

Starting the week with some excellent news: I’ve been accepted at the studio where I was taking classes. I’ll now have more access and be allowed to fire more pieces each month, which means I can finally start filling my website with work for you all. Is Monday too early in the week to pop a champagne open? 🥂

One month doing pottery in Vancouver. I joined a studio, visited artists’ studios during the Eastside Culture Crawl, found a kiln share, started setting up my small throwing corner at home, and had the chance to attend a lovely gallery opening celebrating 70 years of the BC Potters Guild. Still finding myself here, but already feeling lucky to be surrounded by so much art and such creative folks.

The topic of shame has been in my head for quite a while. I’d love to be like those potters that make videos with their voices and faces on it. I do the occasional reel but the mental gymnastics I have to do prior is quite insane. My goal for the new year is to promote not only my pots, but also myself as a maker, a potter and dare I say... an artist?! Stick around and let’s get started with the fun already. The good thing about shame is that the more you face it, the easier it is to deal with it.

What are you ashamed of?

My husband is lovely but he always wants me to do things his way. But I refuse to listen when it comes to my handmade mugs and/or rice…
