After trying a few activities that didn’t quite resonate with me, I enrolled in a pottery course – and it was love at first touch. The sensation was magical. Trusting that feeling, I took another course, and then another, and eventually bought a potter’s wheel for home. I began potting alongside my main career. But when I moved to Berlin three years ago, I realized it was the right moment to follow my calling and make some major changes in my life. Soon after, I embarked on a new path as a ceramist and have been exploring it ever since.\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eOver time, I traveled to various places to delve into the roots and essence of the craft. I went to the Rif Mountains in Morocco to live with local potters and discover the feminine pottery tradition, singing around bonfires. In Cástaras, a small region in Spain, I learned about local geology and working with wild clay. I also spent time in the mountains of Portugal researching glazing chemistry, rock glazing, and the magic of wood firing in the Sasukenei-Smokeless Kiln.\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI perceive working with clay as a way to reconnect with Mother Earth. My intention is to create ceramic objects that allow people to sense nature in their everyday rituals. To achieve this, I experiment with various surfaces and textures, seeking to capture the beauty of nature. I work using both the throwing wheel and hand-building techniques, seamlessly blending the two in my artistry.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bowl is vitrified\/glazed inside, so it can be used to brew all tea types.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: \u003cspan\u003eUliana Tepikina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Berlin, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Hand wash, no soap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 170 ml (5.7 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 5.7 cm (5\" x 5\" x 2.25\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Ulia Earthen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67659879645462,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/7268\/7382\/files\/DSCF0677.jpg?v=1791351761","url":"https:\/\/bardotea.com\/products\/charcoal-ash-tea-bowl-2-170-ml","provider":"BARDO TEA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
