About
My name is Reesha and I’m an artisan potter from the Maldives based in Bristol working under the name RZubair Ceramics. I’ve been making pottery since 2017, starting my journey with a six-month internship in a gallery/pottery studio in Oxford.
I make small batches of wheel thrown & handmade functional & decorative pottery from my studio in Bristol. Pieces vary from stand-alone art to more functional tableware. My inspiration is my native home of the Maldives: the beach, sea, nature and people influence my work and this can be seen in the shapes and the glaze colours I use.
I have had my work exhibited at Cambridge Contemporary Art Gallery and Arundel Contemporary; I took part in London Craft Week 2021, 2022 and 2023; and I was also one of TOAST’s New Makers 2022. Locally, I have been taking part in the North Bristol Arts Trail since 2022.
I passionately believe that there is no right or wrong time to start learning a new skill, craft or language. Having found my love for making pottery in my 30s, I am a true example of this philosophy.
