My name is Karo, and since 2015 I've been making ceramics using the hand-building technique, which means without a potter's wheel.
I've fallen in love with the imperfect, natural aesthetic of this technique, the close connection to the material, and the slow, very traditional process.
Auguste is my four-legged, furry colleague who's been with me from the very beginning. She's a real workshop dog and keeps an eye on my work (but actually, she mostly dozes in her corner)...
Our studio by the sea
From Berlin to Liguria, from the big city to a small, colourful seaside village. Moving a ceramics studio, and to Italy of all places, wasn't exactly easy – but it was worth it! We've been living and creating pottery here on the Italian coast since 2022, very close to the wonderful port city of Genoa.
Our ceramics studio is just a five-minute walk from the turquoise sea and the beautiful beaches of Bogliasco. Here, I draw the endless inspiration of this enchanting environment into my ceramics, sell my pieces on-site, and teach pottery classes.
