Zeina Bacardi Sakr is a self-taught ceramicist who graduated from the American University of Beirut in 2015 with a BA in fine arts and art history. A year later she launched B. by Zeina Bacardi, a line of handmade fine ceramics produced in her Beirut studio. Her work covers three areas: tableware for everyday use, sculptural vessels, and lighting pieces. She often works with liquid porcelain alongside clay, which brings a fine, porcelain quality to her work. Many items are unique, sold directly from her studio. She also teaches, and is listed among the instructors at Fabrica Design Platform, the Beirut ceramics studio and school, where her pieces have been offered for sale. Lebanon Traveler included her in its roundup of women ceramists shaping clay in the country.
