About

Hello, I'm Magda.

Welcome to my creative, dusty little world :)

I live in Warsaw, Poland, with my husband and our teenage son. In a world that often feels busy and fast, pottery gives me a reason to slow down — to be present, to enjoy the quiet rhythm of making something with my hands.

Clay has become my anchor: a place where time seems to move a little differently, and always far too quickly.

How it started

In 2023, I was looking for a way to quiet my mind. I signed up for a pottery class at a local community studio and never imagined how far a single handful of clay could take me. The first time I touched the wheel, everything changed. What began as a way to slow down became a passion — and then Magda Ceramics was born.

My earliest pieces were clumsy, pinched forms that looked like a child's work. I keep them because they remind me where it all began: curious hands and a lot of joy.

Since I could only come to the pottery classes once a week, I bought my own wheel and built a studio at home in my tiny kitchen. This is the place where all my pots are created.

I love every step of the creative process: the rhythm of throwing, the patience of trimming, quiet sound of carving, the suspense of the glaze, the joy of photographing the finished piece.

One of one

I have too many ideas to stay in one place, so I experiment and follow my curiosity. No two pieces are ever alike — every mug, bowl, and vase keeps its own shape, its own imperfections, its own story.

For me, pottery is about so much more than the final object. It is about uncovering the beauty in simplicity, romanticizing the imperfect, and crafting timeless pieces that are truly meant to last.

But beyond the clay, this journey has brought another unexpected gift: the wonderful community and deep friendships I have found through sharing my work on Instagram @magda_ceramics.

Thank you so much for being part of this pottery journey. I hope you find something special here — for yourself, or for someone you love.

Warmly, Magda
