Female Alchemy @ The SHOP / The BASS

We’ve been introducing some of our favorite artists to Studio AF, the curator behind The SHOP at the Bass Museum.

For our second pop-up concept, we’re proud to present Female Alchemy.

Thursday May 15, 6-9pm.

Tatiana Cardona is a Miami-based ceramic artist and the founder of Female Alchemy, a body of work devoted to exploring the emotional and spiritual essence of womanhood. Her ceramics are deeply informed by her Colombian heritage, her upbringing, and the enduring influence of the women who have shaped her life. Through her hands, clay becomes a language—an intimate storytelling tool that allows her to reconnect with her inner child, honor her culture, and give shape to memory and feeling.

Each piece is intentionally one-of-a-kind, never replicated, and serves as a physical embodiment of a person or moment that has left a mark on her—be it someone she has loved, briefly encountered, or quietly observed. These sculptural forms are not just functional objects, but vessels of experience: moody, emotional, and evocative of the complex emotional terrain of girlhood, femininity, and human connection.

With Female Alchemy, Tatiana creates more than ceramics—she creates a world. A world where softness is power, individuality is sacred, and art becomes a form of healing.

Thank you to Studio AF for the vision and for creating a platform that support artists.

And thank you to the artists for collaborating, creating powerful work, and pushing ideas forward.
