Love at first touch

  • • Daša was only 14 when she fell in love with pottery
  • • She intertwines tradition and innovation
  • • She holds pottery workshops and courses

Daša Kogoj is a Slovenian ceramicist from Vrhnika, whose products go by the name Daša’s Pottery. She was only 14 years old when she first stepped into the workshop of a famous Slovenian potter and fell in love with clay and pottery, but it was not until her late twenties that she decided to become a professional ceramicist. Her creations – mostly mugs, bowls, plates and flower vases – are a fusion of Scandinavian design and modern trends, inspired by her own kind of minimalism. In the process of making, she puts functionality first, then great aesthetics usually follow in a natural way. She shares her vast knowledge of pottery and clay at various courses and workshops, helping to keep alive the centuries-old tradition of pottery in Slovenia.

Big latte mug

A big latte stoneware mug in sandy and beige tones reflects Daša’s main principle that functionality should come first. Large handles make the cup fit nicely into the hand. The mugs are hand thrown and hand painted and glazed with a food safe glaze.
