Potter Sanam Emami was born in Iran and grew up in England and the US. She lives in Colorado and is an associate professor of art at Colorado State University. She came to pottery after studying American history—which led her to think about her own history-- and her work combines influences of Persian and Islamic art with a contemporary sensibility. For her, making pots, and understanding her voice within that work, is a continuing journey.
