Małgorzata Łyszczarz

Małgorzata is an art historian and artist working in clay. She graduated from the Wroclaw University and the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. During her studies she got fascinated with Japanese art and architecture and that is how she came across the ceramics of Far East masters. Since then started to develop her own pottery skills and finally set up own ceramic workshop. Her ceramics is close to nature not only by it's organic esthetics, but also by reproduction of nature's seemingly accidental imperfections and random structures. In her work she focuses mainly on functional vessels made by hand and on a potters wheel from glazed stoneware. She experiments with glazes, apply them in layers and let them blend in the kiln. Due to this fully handmade process all pieces are unique.

In my workshop I focus mainly on functional ceramics fired at high temperatures: planters, vases, and tableware. All items are handmade on pottery wheel, from slab, or using coil method. These are traditional, demanding methods of forming pots that, in my opinion, reflect the primordial character of clay. Also a human dimension of items made by hand is important to me: their organic shape, irregularities, flaws, cracks. These are the features that bring them closer to nature. They remind us that a human being is also a part of it.
Works are made of chamotte clays They are crafed either by hand or on a potters wheel. Glazes are poured over, dipped, or applied with a brush. Firing is made in an electric kiln at high temperatures.
