A ceramicist originally from South Africa, now teaching and living in LA, she makes some of the most beautiful wall hangings i've every seen.
When I first discovered Edva Sims' work, I was amazed. Never had I seen the style of work before and it was very unique to her. Even though she has a broad sense of style it is all cohesive and works together to the point that I could recognise her work. There is something so intricate about her pieces of work where you can really tell the time and effort she has put into every piece.
Iv'e learnt a lot from following her on Instagram such as looking how she ties her hanging pieces together and learning that not everything needs a shinny top glaze when it comes to decorative pieces.
Her use of colour intrigues me as she uses a muted pallet but it's also got the vibrancy of the brighter colours e.g yellow and pink. Sims was also the one that really introduced me to how nice the sounds of ceramics are and that's something I want to consider when making my project.

" All of the products you see here are handcrafted by me. I've been drawing, painting, sewing and sculpting since I was a little girl. Inspired by my mother - a Potter herself! - I fell in love with clay and its ability to tell a story. I thoughtfully sculpt and hand-build each pottery piece in my studio - no two pieces are alike. My South African roots are heavily present in my work, and I love incorporating bold colours and unique clay textures. Each piece I make, is filled with positive energy, which I hope will transcend from maker to buyer." - Edva Sims
