Clay as therapy

  • • Tatjana is one of few Bosnian artisans working with clay
  • • She considers ceramics a therapeutic practice
  • • She organises pottery classes for children and adults

Pottery was almost an extinct craft in Bosnia and Herzegovina until 37-year-old product designer Tatjana Kovačević Vidović opened her ceramic studio in the capital Sarajevo eight years ago. She uses traditional techniques to make new objects that we use every day. Clay is a natural material that can connect us to our interior, she believes, which is why she organises pottery courses in her studio in Sarajevo, motivating many locals to relax and relieve stress while playing with clay. “It allows for meditation, complete concentration on what we are doing,” Tatjana adds. And that's one of the things she likes most about clay.

antiPlastik cup in pink

antiPlastik cups are made with the intention to raise awareness and spread a vision of the world with MORE CERAMICS, and LESS PLASTIC. Plastic is not easy to avoid, but any small effort to reduce its use is big. antiPlastik cups represent a healthier option for both us and our planet. They come in three sizes (mini, small and large).

Tall ceramic mugs

These tall ceramic mugs are intended for tea or coffee for all those who like to drink their drink of choice a little longer. A narrower form, broken by geometric accents, enables slower cooling, and the drink stays warm for longer.

Empty Vases

Empty Vases are vases without a base. They are made of natural clay with the aim of being used as a top on jars, bottles or glasses. Empty vases inhale new life to used objects and turn them into a functional and original vase. They correspond to a standard 10 cm wide jar, and they come in two heights. Also, they can all fit together one in another and make unique sculptures.

Linea

Linea decorative vases for dried flowers emerged from line drawing. The idea was to use as little material as possible. Linea vases are sculpted specimens that can stand on the floor, on shelves or as pictures on the wall.
