Sam Linders, born in 1990, is a fine artist, material designer, and researcher who moves between artistic expression and material exploration. Guided by intuition and curiosity, she lets materials shape her work, creating pieces that are thoughtful, tactile, and alive. After graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015, she explored leather, textiles, natural dyes, mycelium, and clay. In recent years, her practice has focused on ceramics, where she follows the clay’s movement, honoring its natural colors, textures, and unpredictability. Across her work, one principle remains: the material leads.
