Extract of Article: Society Magazine, (July-August
1997)
Samir Muller is a name that had often been linked with excellent
crafts man ship in the line of domestic pottery .Samir Muller still
carries on in that line, however, he saw more in clay than house
hold menage . He describes what he does as " creativity in
clay" and as an art that converts a negligible material: that
is clay into a valuable piece of art appreciated for the aesthetic
value it reflects regardless of the degree of its usefulness as
a domestic ustensil.
M uller's style is distinguished for its circular shapes and earthly
or basic colours. Muller aspires a kind of purity in his work. Cooking
and glasing is a very sensitive and delicate process.
Muller's experience and daily interaction with clay has taught him
to be modest , natural and complacent with life . His motto is:
To live as one feels comfortable.
