HANDMADE CERAMIC ART

FINDING PERFECTION IN IMPERFECTION

HANDMADE CERAMIC ART

THROUGH NATURE

The love for ceramics came unpredictable, while searching for perfect cups for my forest bathing sessions.
It was only in March 2023 that I hold a clay in my hand for the very first time.
However, since that moment, it has become a passion, irresistible desire to create.
The process is like meditation, time to stop, to just be - through the process of creation.
And with with inspiration through nature.

Autumn forest 2

The clay is incredible teacher - in trust, in learning to accept imperfections - in me, in my work, all around,
but also allows me to embrace the beauty of "wabi-sabi" and "ichi go - ichi - e" philosophy.
Something that nature has been reminding me again and again thourgh my work of guiding and photography.

The ceramic work presented here is made by my hands through different techniques of working with clay.

Each product carries my energy, my love and passion to create and is truly unique.

The work is available to buy or can be made to custum orders to meet your wishes and needs.
My body of clay is a mid - to high fire stoneware clay; either white, black or red, depending of the desired look.

The products are fired twice through a process of creation: first at 1050°C, second final with glaze on at 1230 - 1260°C.

Please allow me time to create, as working with clay is a very slow and patient process, and I only work in small batches.

Thank you!

INSPIRED BY STORIES OF NATURE, ITS PERFECTION IN INPERFECTION
In Japanese culture WABI-SABI means the art of finding beauty in imperfection. It encourages us to appreciate that nothing is truly perfect or permanent. WABI- SABI is an elegant philosophy that denotes a more connected way of living— a lifestyle, where we are deeply connected to nature, and thus, better connected to our truest inner-selves.

WABI - SABI MUGS

My wabi-sabi mugs have been created when I started doing forest therapy, forest bathing, shinrin-yoku and searching for the "perfect" mugs for the tea ceremony which is the final part of every forest bathing session. This is how my love for pottery was born. And they are perfect to remind you to slow down your stressful life and feel the beauty of life.

Well, the digital shop is still in process of creation, so I kindly ask you for patience. But please do not hesitate, let us know what you like, size, shapes, numbers of items, colors etc...

Maybe there is even something what is not here and you would like us to create it for you. For me the most beautiful challenge is when I can create some new, unique, something that reflects you and your passion.

And some of the items here might have been sold already, too. We can make it for you, simmiliar, not the same - as every single piece is unique by itself. Please have in mind, that it takes about 1 month or more for bigger orders to create a product from start to finish.
