Ceramics at the confluence of cultures
- • Julia creates handmade pottery and tableware in an understated style
- • She is inspired by her travels, cultural heritage and love of cooking
- • In her studio, she enjoys sharing her knowledge with students
Julia Hoji studied international relations, but her passion for working with her hands led her to pursue a career in ceramics. She began her journey as a ceramicist in 2013, taking pottery wheel classes and attending several courses in different countries to learn about glazes, techniques and finishes. Soon after, she began attending fairs and accepting commissions. Since then Julia has honed her skills to produce pottery and tableware in a delicate style. Her first master, the British ceramicist Corrie Bain, taught her much of what she knows about ceramics, but she believes that a one-month residency in the workshop of Japanese ceramicist Shinobu Hashimoto had the most significant impact on her work. During her time there she refined her technique and fell in love with Japanese know-how and tradition. In April 2021 Julia opened up her own workshop where she also teaches her craft to students.
