She is currently in the final year of her Master’s of Arts degree in ancient food and ceramics at the University of South Africa under the mentorship of Prof Magdel le Roux. Her research focuses on the Yale Babylonian recipes which were written in 1700 BC as well as the pottery that was used during this period.Between 2013-2018 Melissa participated in archaeological excavations in Hazor, Israel, a world heritage site, where she was involved in the ceramic restoration of the site for the last three years. In 2017 she was commissioned to re-create ancient ceramics for the National Geographic documentary, Origins.Melissa’s extensive knowledge of Mesopotamian material culture, and the experience of working with ancient ceramics, has greatly influenced her vessels. They are both expressive and extremely refined forms, and indirectly pay homage to the sophistication of this ancient civilisation.She has developed a range of distinctive marbled porcelain and terracotta vessels. Each piece is individually marbled by hand and unique. In 2019 she won the Ceramics South Africa (Western Cape) – New Signatures Award for these vessels.Website: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.melissabarkerceramics.com">www.melissabarkerceramics.com</a>
