MY WORKS
Get inspired.
Why VIECKA?
I create ceramics from the highest quality porcelain and clay, entirely handmade from start to finish. I put passion and precision into each element, ensuring great pleasure in use. I ensure that each item is unique and has its own special soul.
I focus on a combination of nature with a touch of luxury. I decorate my works with precious metals - a manifestation of my respect for nature. Beauty and durability are written in the structure of the Earth and its natural resources - that's where I find my inspiration.
I specialize in the nerikomi technique - an advanced method of producing ceramics. I combine pigments with ceramic mass to create new and inimitable shades. The result is unique, multi-layer structures and magical patterns on the surface of the dishes.
My works are functional and durable - they fit into everyday life, shared meals, slow desserts and celebrations of important things. They allow you to enjoy delicious coffee and in the evening with your favorite book.
How do I work?
For me, a ceramic studio is a place where nature and art meet in harmony. Each day of ceramic work is a journey to the land of shapes and textures. A combination of imagination, passion and precision. The creation process begins with the selection of the right porcelain or clay. Next- careful, hand modeling takes place to bring it to life. Combining pigments with clay myself requires patience. However, it allows me to create new, personal shades that give your work a unique character. I carefully refine each element, create lines and delicate textures. It is followed several days of proper drying and sanding. The first firing in the kiln and the first face of the fired work. Then comes the time of glazing and the second firing – at a temperature to suit the purpose of the item. When I decorate a work with gold or platinum, a separate third firing is necessary, under extremely controlled conditions.
The moment I take my work out of the klin is always an amazing surprise. It’s like opening a treasure that has been hiding in the fire and gradually taking its final form. It is the fruit of several stages, hundreds of gestures and heart put into every detail.

Mastery of porcelain and clay
Clay is an extraordinary raw material that forms the foundation of ceramics. It is a mineral composed mainly of silica, alumina, and oxygen. This flexible and plastic matter is indispensable – both in creating artistic works and practical vessels. The history of such products dates back thousands of years when people discovered the potential of clay.
Porcelain, the more refined sister of clay, is also a crucial element in the world of ceramics. Invented in China, porcelain is made from kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. Fired at very high temperatures, it achieves remarkable hardness and translucency simultaneously, making it ideal for producing both decorative and functional items. It is extremely pleasant to the touch and comfortable to use.
Ceramics is the legacy of a long and rich history of human creativity and a tribute to nature. Clay and porcelain, though different in their structures, unite in one – eternal mastery of ceramics.
