Los Angeles based ceramicist, Julka Ossola, uses both the wheel and hand-building techniques to make small collections and one of creations in stoneware. Her distinctive style focuses on harmony of shapes and attention to detail.
I am an Italian ceramic artist who approached the clay at the beginning just for fun and immediately ceramic turned into a big passion, to the point of making it my new profession after I had studied seriously and with dedication for five years completing all the courses required to obtain the certificate.
I love interacting with the matter, giving it shape, expressiveness, and life. In clay, I found the perfect material, malleable and versatile, from which to create long-lasting objects that can leave a memory.
In my work, my background as a fashion and graphic designer is evident. I draw inspiration from my surroundings, seeking out elements that evoke emotions and convey meaning. Simplicity is my keyword, through minimal lines and a focus on details, I aim to express beauty and elegance.
Exploring ceramics daily is a journey of self-discovery for me. The process of creating ceramics is a return to the ancient roots, connecting with Mother Earth, and serves as a therapeutic practice to nourish and heal the soul.
Every piece I create is the result of profound research, meticulous craftsmanship, and deep passion.
