ABOUT THE CRAFTER
Oleksandra Samokhina is a ceramic artist originally from central Ukraine and the founder of Niwa Ceramics, a studio based in Poznań, Poland.
She works with different types of clay and builds her pieces by hand, without using a wheel or moulds. Using coils, she develops each vessel gradually, responding to the clay as it changes throughout the process. Cracks, swelling, sagging, and other unexpected changes become part of how the work develops.
Her work is influenced by nature and by the surfaces and forms she encounters around her. She is drawn to marks shaped by water, wind, pressure, and time, as well as cracks in concrete, weathered stone, softened edges, layers, stains, and rough textures. These observations become part of the visual language she brings into her ceramics. Alongside her own practice, Oleksandra teaches ceramics and runs workshops at Niwa Ceramics, bringing people together through making and conversation.

Small editions and unique pieces
Our selection includes one of a kind works, small batch productions, and made to order pieces shaped through slower and more thoughtful production processes.
Made by independent women crafters
Women play an important role in shaping contemporary craft, carrying knowledge and traditions forward while finding new ways to work with them. By supporting their independent practices, we help this knowledge continue to grow, evolve, and remain part of contemporary life.
