About Me
Sha Ganjali
With a background in interior design and painting, my creative foundation has always been rooted in form, space, and materiality. Over time, I found my deepest connection through working with clay — a medium that continues to challenge and ground me.
My practice is centred around hand-building sculptural forms, often led by intuition rather than predetermined design. I work closely with the clay’s natural responses — coiling, folding, collapsing — allowing each piece to evolve through a quiet collaboration between hand and material. The process is both contemplative and physical, shaped by presence and spontaneity.
Each piece carries the imprint of the moment it was made. The emotional landscape I bring into the studio — whether stillness, unrest, or reflection — becomes part of the work itself. No two forms are ever alike, because no two moments are ever the same. What emerges is often unexpected: a translation of something felt, not planned — shaped by what I’m experiencing in that particular point in time.
In addition to my studio practice, I offer sculptural hand-building workshops where I share this intuitive approach with others.
