Born in Slovakia, Silvia Kamodyova arrived in England in 1999 with the aim of improving her English. She fell in love with ceramics and, in 2012, after graduating from Brighton University, opened her first studio in the same city. Coming from a country of rich cultural heritage, she finds inspiration in artisanal products from around the Mediterranean. She channels this into her own tableware and terracotta vessels, which interpret folk objects in a contemporary way, with a strong focus on function and colour. In search of authenticity, every aspect of her production takes place in-house: she uses the wheel to throw the initial shape instead of drawing it, then makes the mould, mixes casting slip, makes glazes and cuts leather.
