A ceramics studio with a strong focus on function and colour, inspired by the artist’s Slovakian heritage.
Located in the heart of Brighton, Silvia established her eponymous studio shortly after graduation in 2012. Reflecting her commitment to authenticity, every aspect of production takes place in-house.
Nothing is outsourced here, with drawings informing the models from which she makes her plaster moulds, in addition to mixing the caster slip and glazing. Her collections are a contemporary interpretation of simple historical objects with a strong focus on function and colour. While the origins of Silvia’s work can be traced to her Slovakian heritage, ongoing research takes her enquiring eye to peasant ceramic ware from diverse sources. Uncompromising in her research and development, she sees these objects as a vital element of our cultural and social history.
Silvia K Ceramics has won awards such as Elle Decoration Design Awards 2016 and New Designers One Year On 2013.
Each range presents a complementary combination of fresh bright colours alongside quieter tones. Pattern is minimal, using simple strokes, lines or bases of colour.
