Life's coincidences

  • • Anna fell into ceramics by chance
  • • She loves the moment when she takes the ceramics out of the oven
  • • She believes that ceramics is at its rebirth now

Anna Pavlova is a ceramicist whose life path was not always directed to ceramics. She chose ceramics by accident. When she entered the academy, she was supposed to go to the design department, but she went to the wrong group and decided to continue with ceramics. Since 2017 she started to work in her own studio where she combines different materials such as ceramics, glass, semiprecious stones, and metals. She does not work in a traditional way, but she creates her unique techniques that lead to her original creations. Anna believes that ceramics is experiencing a rebirth now and by combining it with other crafts such as glass working and jewellery making, she aims to create something completely new.
