About me
Hello, my name is Olga Zadaki. I’m a creative person at heart, an artist, and this is my ceramics brand. I create all my pieces myself— from the concept and shape to the painting and final firing.
I use two techniques in my work: hand molding and pottery wheel throwing. This allows me to create both vibrant, fluid forms with character, as well as more precise, laconic lines, preserving the uniqueness of each piece.
Glaze painting allows me to achieve a glass-like effect, while overglaze painting adds more detail, shadows, and elements, ultimately creating a true painting on your tableware.

Work on the product begins with preparing the clay — I knead it until it reaches the desired plasticity, so that the material is pliable and "alive".
*Each product goes through this process individually, without templates or forms, so even within the same series there are no absolutely identical works.
Next, the form is created: depending on the idea, I use hand-sculpting or a potter’s wheel, or I combine the two if necessary. At this stage, the proportions, character of the lines, and overall mood of the future piece are established.

After shaping, the piece undergoes a natural drying phase. This is a slow and important process: the clay must dry evenly, without tension or cracks.

Then comes the first, waste firing — it gives the product strength and prepares the surface for further painting and glazing.

After this, you can begin painting. First, glaze painting; depending on the complexity, this process can take anywhere from two hours to indefinitely.
The product is then sent back to the kiln, where it is fired at a temperature of 1200 degrees for 12 hours.

After this, overglaze painting takes place. This involves different colors and more delicate, painstaking work, where all the fine details are drawn in, tones and shadows are added, and the piece becomes a true painting.

The final stage is a second firing at 900 degrees Celsius to secure the overglaze painting and give the piece the look it will retain for years to come, preserving the warmth of your hands and the character imbued in the creation process.
All products are completely handmade with a unique design for each item; no one else will have the same one, you will have a completely original item.

ease of use
In recycling, the products are practically no different from ordinary dishes: they are resistant to the effects of appliances and different temperatures, can be used in the microwave and washed by hand.
USE IT FOR A LIFETIME
With careful use, these pieces retain their appearance for decades.
The colors retain their depth and richness, the designs remain intact, and the surface is timeless. This is an investment in a piece of art that will stay with you for a long time and continue to bring joy to your home or interior.
