What if ceramics could have personalities of their own? That’s the idea Biggie Marcel, the Indonesian artist behind Biggie Projects, brings to life in her studio. As her website puts it, the studio is a humble, one-woman operation making functional art with plenty of character. What began as a fun side hustle has since grown into a full-time career, with pieces modeled on everyone from her next-door neighbor to Justin and Hailey Bieber.
The real charm lies in how much expression she manages to squeeze into such small, practical objects. With just a few carefully placed details, she turns a plain cup into a tiny portrait, the kind you’d happily say good morning to before your first sip.
Below, you’ll find a selection of her work, from cups inspired by SZA and Gigi Hadid to family portraits and pieces made especially for babies. Stick around for the story behind one of her most memorable projects, too.
