I enjoy the inherent connection to the material that handbuilding invites, one that takes shape slowly over the many stages of making. I’m drawn to highly utilitarian forms with a touch of whimsy and sometimes, wonk. I’m inspired by the colors and textures of my grandmother’s home in Bangladesh, seasonal produce, and the infinite richness of the color brown. https://farhanaferdous.com/Photos-2025 Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:19:58 +0000 farhana ferdous https://farhanaferdous.com/Photos-2025 &nbsp;
