Sharing their love for ceramics
- • Robert began his ceramics career in his father’s tile workshop
- • He mixes modern design with traditional wheel-throwing
- • His wife Monika created a bird figurine collection
When he was a boy Robert Jehn-Olszewscy would play among the furnaces at his father's ceramic tile workshop, having fun pretending he was Bruce Lee punching piles of broken ceramic tiles. So there was little doubt he would later become a ceramicist himself. As a student in 1993 he continued working independently in his father’s workshop. Then he met Monika, when they both studied at the Warsaw University of Technology. Monika fell in love with Robert and ceramics at the same time. "We used to admire traditional folk craft," explains Robert. "What we observed is that in a pottery workshop there’s always family working together. That’s what we like most – just the two of us, working with our own hands."
