LAIMA CERAMICS
Laima Ceramics is a pottery studio run by Laima Grigone in Latvia, Rundale. Video by Edgars Egle at Egle Films. One day at pottery studio shows the various little things that are done each day as part of the handmade pottery process- wedging, slab-rolling, shaping, wheel-throwing, sponging, glazing, loading/unloading kilns, talking, singing, dancing and cuddling cats.
βNestled in the deep countryside of Latvia, I design and create unique items to become part of your life story, things intended to make the otherwise mundane tasks of cooking, eating and drinking full of mindfulness, care and beauty.
I hope to inspire a desire within you to think carefully about objects you have in your life. It is important to me to provide you with the best quality and long-term durability. I believe in handmade, well made and slowly made.
I want to restore the balance of unique items against the mass produced that surrounds us. I believe that by cultivating attitude of care towards objects will reflect in our relationships and, on a larger scale, our worldview. My aim is to make tableware that brings a little quiet beauty into the everyday life. I hope for a future where all things around us are made in the spirit of gratitude and joy, honoring nature and everything upon it.β
