Hi! I’m Sam Burrows, the human behind Sam I Am Ceramics! I am a ceramic artist based out of Rockville, Maryland. In high school, I was introduced to clay and absolutely fell in love with the medium. I had the incredible opportunity to create a 6 foot totem for a collaboration between Strathmore and the DC Metro. It was then that I knew clay would be an important part of my life. I minored in art while studying at the University of Delaware and then lived in a small town where I didn’t have access to a studio. When I moved back to Maryland, I worked at an art museum, where some really incredible folks encouraged me to get back to art and get my hands back on some clay! I found an incredible studio with the most amazing mentor, that I have started to not only create my own art, but take steps toward teaching others and learning the ins and outs of the medium! I started Sam I Am Ceramics to create quality handmade pieces to bring some joy to people’s days and hopefully bring some love and connection to the world. If I’m able to make someone smile from my work, I will consider it a job well done!
