About:

Sami Foster is a functional ceramic artist based in Denver, whose journey with clay began in 2023. Initially drawn to ceramics as a therapeutic outlet, she discovered her passion while taking a wheel-throwing class at the Art Students League of Denver (ASLD). After a couple of classes at ASLD, she was fortunate to be selected as the ceramics apprentice. During the apprenticeship, she learned about the ceramic process as well as developed her body of work.

​

Sami's creations are deeply influenced by nostalgic designs that are reminiscent of her childhood. Her background as a research scientist also informs her artistic practice, as she experiments with raw materials to develop glazes that reflect her vision. Each piece she creates is a blend of technical precision and playful imagination, reflecting her scientific curiosity and inner child.
