The Studio

The ceramic studio is located at Treptowerstr. 12 in Berlin, Neukölln. It’s equipped with height wheels, two kilns, two wedging plaster tables, a lot of shelves and tables installed in two wheel rooms and a glazing room with all the materials and tools needed to create high quality ceramics in a cozy and safe environment.

The classes are given by four different teachers : Violaine, Ella, Narmin and Alena in order to embrace a larger spectrum of techniques and methods as well as a big range of availabilities. Come visit us! 🙂

The Founder

Hi! I’m Violaine. A queer and French ceramic artist based in Berlin since 2017. I am creating ceramic collections in collaboration with local concept stores, galleries, selling directly from the studio shop and teaching potter’s wheel hand in hand with my little studio team. In my work, I experiment with various ornamental handles around my vases, inspired by Art and Crafts, retro-futurism and the cosmic botanical forms that surrounds me. Deeply influenced by Berlin’s underground scene, I often collaborate with local creatives: tattoo artists, illustrators, carpenters, photographers, painters, musicians, etc. as I’m always in research of new encounters and magical discoveries 🙂
