Abstract teapots
- • Bojana makes illustrated vessels
- • She finds inspiration in her chosen materials
- • Before ceramics, she worked as a fashion stylist for six years
Bojana Ristevski Mlaker always wanted to be a ceramic artist. Ever since she played in mud as a child, she has loved the craft. When she had to decide what to study, she chose between costume design and ceramic art and her love for design and costumes took her on the path to becoming a stylist. After six years, she was drawn back to her roots, to the earth and its possibilities, opening her ceramics studio Juha in 2017 after she relocated to Slovenia. She started producing clay objects, either unique or in small series, selling them in Belgrade and Ljubljana. “My inspiration comes from within," Bojana says, and when it arrives she works with haste, taking no breaks.
