Olena moved to Gda\u0144sk in 2022 from Poltava, where she ran her own studio. She brought one tool with her: a wooden rib that belonged to her grandmother, which she still uses to smooth the edge of every vessel.<\/p>\n\n
Her work starts from traditional Slavic ceramics, but takes its colour from the coast here: greys, greens and that matte blue the Baltic keeps for most of the year. She says she spent her first year in Gda\u0144sk working on glazes alone, because the forms would not come.<\/p>\n\n
At Mozaika she runs open clay-modelling workshops for children and adults. She opens each one by saying that your first pot comes out crooked, and that this is part of the plan.<\/p>\n\n
Olena\u2019s work has been shown in galleries in Kyiv, Gda\u0144sk and Berlin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
