Ceramics as a calling

  • • Morana uses stoneware for its strong and tactile properties
  • • She makes clear, functional shapes with visible prints of the makers hands
  • • Her work and colour palette are inspired by Mediterranean nature

Morana Depoli comes from a family with generations of skillful and creative people. She first tried to express herself through textiles, like her grandmother, but ended up choosing her own creative outlet, mastering ceramics. She began working with clay while studying cultural studies. She learned the skills of pottery making by working in a small studio for ceramic souvenirs at first, and later on by learning from professor Boris Roce and artist Dijana Lukić. Her dream started to become a reality when she established Peruna Ceramics as a brand at the age of 30, and her calling became her work. Since then she has been creating and learning through practice in her sunny studio in Dubrovnik.
