The Collaborative Mini Malm Burner series is aimed at working with other artists to create a crossover body of work. I hope that the outcome is a bunch of amazing pieces, plus, it will be a way to cross promote our work to each others audience!

Samirah is a Mexican-American potter and artist born in the Sonoran Desert city of Tucson, Arizona and raised on both sides of the US-Mexico border. 

While studying at the University of Arizona, She earned a bachelors degree in fine arts with an emphasis in painting and illustration, and a masters degree in landscape architecture. 

She transitioned from a career as a landscape architect to pursue pottery once she became a mother. She felt compelled to try wheel throwing and asked her mom, a potter with decades of experience working with clay and teaching ceramics, to teach her the basics. 

Over time, she built a small, thriving online pottery business by the name of Seedling Clayworks, Seedling Clayworks has been a space to freely and joyously experiment with many themes, materials and styles of work.

Eight years after launching Seedling Clayworks, she transitioned her business name to Samirah Steinmeyer Ceramics. She has straddled the line between fast-paced production and art making for years and now focuses on the side of slower-paced, functional art making.

The Mini Malm Burner is an incense burner with Mid-Century Modern Vibes in a Compact Package! This sleek and stylish incense burning collection is inspired by the iconic mid-century metal fireplaces.

The Mini Malm Burner sculpture emulates the popular Midcentury design fireplace of the same name. It is perfect for burning cone, rope, paper, or any other incense! Each sculpture stands approximately 9" high and 4" at the widest point, and comes in a rainbow of ten glaze colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple, Stone, Black, and White. Each Mini Malm Burner is handmade from stoneware and no two are exactly alike.

Today, mid-century modern metal fireplaces are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of retro design. Their unique blend of functionality and artistic appeal continues to resonate with those seeking to incorporate a touch of mid-century modern style into their homes. Our goal is to make this charming design more accessible to the masses by making it small enough to fit into any space!
