SCULPTED VASES
SCULPTED VASES
The sculpted vases, Awa Sané's new signature pieces, explore the beauty of braids, their lines, their gestures, and the memory they carry.
TAYLA
TAYLA celebrates braids and their contemporary influence, from the meticulous gestures of hairstylists to music video scenes, embracing the energy of artists and the reach of braiding art through social media.
Each braid is applied one by one by hand, creating a life-size pattern, bearing witness to the cultural depth, beauty, and transmission associated with this art of braiding.
OUMOU
OUMOU is inspired by box braids, a hairstyle my sister regularly wore.
Between tradition and modernity, the vase makes braids the very structure of its form. Each coil is hand-braided, in a delicate interplay between the moisture of the clay and the precision of the gesture.
SABA
SABA embodies the elegance and precision of braids. The main element of this piece is inspired by traditional Ethiopian hairstyles and the emblematic central braid that anchors the line at the top of the head. The vase evokes an assertive presence, full of grace and character.

Essential information
- Colors, dimensions and shapes may differ from the photo: the pieces are all handmade ; there are naturally variations .
- I use different clays (stoneware and earthenware) depending on my needs: colors, lightness, robustness, texture...
- The glaze on earthenware can " shimmer ": small lines may appear. This is due to a different shrinkage rate between glaze and clay. And don't worry... Sometimes the piece "hums" 😊 because it lives!
- Earthenware is a naturally porous clay: liquids pass slightly through the glaze. If necessary, don't forget your coaster to protect your furniture.
- Some small defects may be noticed, such as sanding marks. Don't worry, the work is artisanal but safe 🫶🏽
