A great choice for those who love familiar references, gentle humor, and pieces that feel easy to live with.
Hi, I’m Valentina.
I live in Cyprus with my family, and a few years ago ceramics unexpectedly became a big part of my life. I came to a workshop just to try it out and realized I didn’t want to leave. Since then, I’ve been learning, experimenting, and slowly finding my own way with clay.
Everything I make is created by hand. I don’t aim for perfect shapes and instead, I focus on making pieces that feel good to hold and are meant to be used every day.
What I love most about hand-building is the process itself. No two pieces ever turn out exactly the same, and that’s what makes each one special.
I create plates, magnets, and ornaments inspired by cartoons, movies, and memes, all things that feel familiar and bring a smile. I want these pieces to be simple, warm, and easy to live with, finding their place naturally in a home.
For me, ceramics is about care, a slower pace, and finding joy in small details. It’s about making things that stay with you and quietly become part of everyday life.
Thank you for being here 🧡

Garlic Therapy is a one-of-a-kind handmade ceramic grater designed to turn a simple kitchen ritual into something grounding, tactile, and strangely satisfying. The textured center gently breaks down garlic, ginger, or zest into a smooth paste, while the glazed surface lets all those bold flavors gather beautifully.

The Blue Quiet Set is a pair of handmade ceramic cups designed for slow moments. The soft flow of blues over warm clay feels like water meeting sand — calm, fluid, and impossible to repeat exactly the same way twice. Each cup is shaped by hand and finished with layered glazes that create natural movement and depth, making every piece slightly different, yet perfectly belonging together. Made for morning coffee, evening tea, or simply sitting still for a moment longer than usual.
A striking, large ceramic bowl that captures the depth and movement of ocean tides. Inspired by the quiet power of the ocean, the bowl reflects the feeling of standing at the edge of deep water, watching waves shift, light move across the surface, and colors change with every moment. The inside of the bowl flows with soft and deep blues, like currents pulling inward, while the outer edges carry earthy, weathered tones reminiscent of rocky shores. Its beauty comes from this contrast. Calm depth within, raw texture outside, capturing a small piece of the sea in a functional, everyday object.
