From two worlds

Our ceramist and potter was born in Modra and trained under two renowned ceramic masters in Slovakia. Our glazer and painter comes from New York City, with a background in traditional graphics and printmaking.

The two met while studying at art school in Bratislava and later brought their shared practice into a small family atelier.
