Coming in an array of earthy tones, this collection of serving bowls is wheel-thrown, made with white clay. Fired at 1230 degrees, each glaze has a particular nuance and colour intensity. Outside, they are covered with copper and manganese oxides for a special chromatic effect.

Captivated by clay
- • Marija experiments with glazes
- • She set up her workshop in 2010
- • She loves the fragility of fresh clay
Discovering the medium of clay during her high school years, Marija Seman decided to immerse herself in it completely. For her, it’s the most challenging medium. Creative and driven by the endless possibilities of the pliable material, she opened a gallery with a group of colleagues right after graduation and the space is very active to this day. At her studio, Marija remains focused on producing original pieces fired at 1250 degrees. She mixes techniques and finds new approaches to explore form and material while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship – something she first notices in every piece. As a creative, she is invested in continuous learning as she promotes the cultural and personal value of handicraft.

Wine goblets
This series of wobbly wine goblets were created by the casting technique. The original cast model was wheel-thrown for each goblet and finished by hand. They are fired at 1230 degrees, to bring the best out of oxide-saturated glazes, giving them a special patina.

Fruit bowl

Flower vase
This soft-structured vase was made through the casting technique. It was finished off by hand to get the desired bumps and creases, achieving a visually interesting and seemingly unstable form. Fired at 1230 degrees, the combination of glazes allowed soft blue, yellow, and beige tones to overlap.
