Traditional ceramics with a twist

  • • Svitlana co-founded 8 Komora with Ivan Kozik in 2014
  • • She studied decorative applied arts and design
  • • Their work reflects their feelings and experiences

From the early days, Svitlana Sholomitska was surrounded by artisans. Her grandfather carved the portraits on the gravestones, her father was a graphic designer. That in some way led the way for Svitlana to become an artisan herself. Currently, she is among the brightest stars of the modern Ukrainian ceramics movement creating imaginative, transformative objects that transcend the notions of tradition and contemporaneity. Along with Ivan Kozik, she is a co-founder of the 8 Komora brand that not only produces ceramics but is also engaged in upcycling and silkscreen printing. The latter has recently become a lifeline when the studio found itself impacted by the war in the country. As the ceramic materials supply chain was disrupted, they turned to graphics.
