Wenska lepi z gliny is after-hours ceramics made in Gdańsk. By day its maker works in a corporate office; in the evenings she hand-builds slab plates with Gdańsk tenement houses, pieces with Lord of the Rings motifs and mugs with sarcastic slogans. Her ceramics are at Locus Artis in Gdańsk.
She decided to try ceramics after moving to the seaside. More than two years ago she started with a class once a week; today she is in the studio almost every day.
She works with slabs and has recently started learning to throw on the wheel. She makes the tenement houses using mishima: she carves the pattern into the clay and fills it with colour. Alongside Gdańsk she keeps coming back to Lord of the Rings motifs and to slogans that, as she says, look best on a coffee mug during an important corporate meeting.
What she brought to Locus Artis.
At Locus Artis, look out for her plates with Gdańsk tenement houses. If she had to pick something for herself, it would be the Gdańsk plate: for her it marks a dream come true – moving to this city.
