About me
Its nice to meet you here.
I am Kristjan Klementi
And I make pottery craft in my tiny home studio.
Read my journey of becoming a potter.
What I do
I create everyday objects from clay that are simple in nature, functional and well finished.
I try to help bring a quiet, modest, and earthy mood to our everyday life through them.
Take a closer look at what I do.

Made with love, passion and care.
For me art is not just creativity, but also mastery and skills of creating. Every time the clay is put on the potter’s wheel, I put a lot of care and attention to what I do.
Every piece I make is my journey to mastery. Every little detail has its meaning and importance, so the final piece is not just nice, but pleasant to the eye and silky smooth to the hand to hold them.
My work is made to be used with a hope they will withstand the test of time.

Ice crackle
A glaze with many names: ice crackle, tortoise shell, snowflake and many more.
Made with thick layer of crackle glaze where the fractures develop the look of cracked ice. Hence also its name – Ice Crackle.
Stardust
When the odds become even during the firing process the iron rich glaze develops beautiful golden microcrystals. Sometimes covering the whole ware with golden hue and other times just few golden sparks like stars.
Glaze that’s originally called “Tea-Dust” and was mainly used in Imperial ware.
Everyday
You come home, make tea, sit in the armchair, and catch your breath...
Here are cups, bowls and other simple dishes that give everyday life a calm, clean, modest, and rustic feel.
Made from different colored stoneware where mainly inside of the ware is glazed so that the clay itself would be brought out.

Monoprint on clay
Ginkgo leaves and one aspen leaf embossed into black clay. Painted with white engobe and fired to 1240 degrees.
Create art, not problems
The leaves of the ginkgo tree fell a while ago. I picked some fresh leaves from under the tree and put them under the shade, protected from the rain. Who knows when they might be needed
The most important thing is what is invisible to the eye
To the naked eye, these golden crystals look like small golden dust on the surface of the glaze but a completely different picture opens up very closely through a magnifying glass.
