Finding harmony in combinations
- • The first time Tatiana touched clay it just felt right
- • She uses coil and slab construction techniques
- • She is obsessed with vessels
When Tatiana Solodovnikova used to work as a decorator, she often found that the selection of ceramic decor available was woefully lacking. The idea came to her: "Wouldn’t it be amazing to simply make an object I need?” That was the start of a very long road leading her to do just that! Back then she was going through a personal crisis, so it was the perfect time for self-discovery. She started learning about different ceramic techniques and looking for foreign influences, and felt overwhelmed by the variety of styles and opportunities. After taking several courses at the Mugur studio led by master Pavel Dubovtsev, she bought a potter’s wheel and practised at home. Though skilled on the wheel, she quickly realised she preferred hand building, which is what she does today.

The Cycle
This work is a result of Tatiana’s personal worries about family. Family is an organism with its own structure and interconnections. This piece is the third part of a triptych about recurrence and experience transfer from mother to child.
