Sami Rinne

I am a ceramic artist and a designer. I produce tableware and ceramic art, mainly using clay and plaster. The key features of my production are clean and sculptural shapes and combining techniques. 
​
I produce unique works and small series. In my series I use and combine self-made plaster molds. I also have familiarized myself with 3D technology. It enables using more
complex and precise casting techniques. In firing I use electric kiln, wood-fired kiln and raku firing. I constantly experiment with different glazings and coatings. 
​
I produce many series at a time and I work with them for many years. My work is alive and it evolves with the time. During the last few years I have been motivated by architecture and classic historical themes. 
​
My goal is to add understanding of the many layers of arts providing the public with means to be more open to interpretations. As an artist I want to surprise, produce experiences and question the existing models of thinking.
