A master of unique tableware
- • Simona's dishes feature in restaurants and private homes
- • Her first encounter with clay didn't go well
- • Customers find her via word-of-mouth
The first time Simona Kaunaitė encountered clay, she decided she absolutely hated throwing. Despite that, she chose to study ceramics at the Vilnius Arts Academy. These days her thrown pottery can be found in the most interesting and unique Lithuanian restaurants. Her pieces are immediately recognisable: often matte, with a slightly porous surface. Tableware intended for restaurants has special requirements: it must be very durable, and less likely to show fingerprints; Simona therefore creates her plates and dishes from porcelain and high-fired stoneware. However, her work is also sought after by private clients who want to give their home a touch of exclusivity.
