One studio — ceramics and paintings as fine art prints
Studio

One studio, one pair of hands.

A small studio in Tenerife. Here I paint watercolours on paper, and hand-paint ceramic tableware — one pair of hands, one piece at a time, never mass-produced.

Painting and ceramics

I paint. On paper, and on ceramics.

I’m Anna. I am a painter and a ceramicist — to me it is one practice, not two separate ones. I paint in ink and watercolour on paper, then carry the same gestures and motifs onto tableware, which I glaze and fire.

I came to ceramics slowly: first a course, then a shelf in someone else’s studio, and finally my own small place — a glazing table and a painting corner side by side, plus a kiln. It is calm, physical work, and it refuses to be rushed.

I paint by hand, without transfers or stencils — on paper or on a piece alike. That is why a line sometimes wanders, a palm leans a little, and two similar motifs are never truly the same. The paper compositions enter a fine art edition as prints; the ceramic piece stays one of a kind — but in both, that is where the object starts to feel alive.

Studio details

A few numbers and facts.

Studio
Tenerife
One room: paints and paper on one table, glaze and a kiln right next to it.
Firing
1040 °C
After painting and glazing, the ceramic piece goes into the kiln, where the firing sets the colour and turns the surface into a glassy, functional layer.
Media
Ceramics & watercolour
Some compositions stay on paper and enter a fine art edition. Others I glaze and fire as ceramics. The source is the same — one brush, one studio.
Ceramics shipping
1–3 days
I pack and ship ceramics myself within 1–3 business days across Poland. Fine art prints are made and shipped by our print partner, usually within 5–10 days, anywhere in the EU or UK.
How a piece is made

From the first line to a finished piece.

01

I start with a line

Every piece starts as a drawing or a watercolour composition on paper — I plan the layout, choose the colours, and work without transfers, layer by layer.

02

Two paths

Some compositions stay on paper and enter a fine art edition as prints. The rest I carry onto tableware: I apply glaze and paint the motif by hand, straight onto the ceramic.

03

I fire or print

Ceramics I fire in the kiln at 1040°C, look over carefully, and sign on the base. Fine art prints are printed on paper and shipped by our print partner.

One studio, two ways to live with art.

Ceramics exist only once — when a piece finds its home, it leaves the shop for good. Fine art prints are made to order, so the composition you love can always hang in yours.
