Welcome to Gosha Ceramics
My name is Malgorzata Marszalek, I am a Polish ceramist who lives in the South of France.
In my studio I make ceramic objects for domestic and decorative use. I particularly focus on stoneware tableware, inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and the nature around me.
For me, the beauty of ceramics is that each piece is slightly different because it is handmade, express the different emotions and intentions of the artist during the creation of it. It is also fascinating that ceramics is a discipline that combines the four elements:
- earth, as clay
- water, without which it is impossible to throw
- air, which dries the pots, and finally
- fire, which transforms the ceramic element into a solid and durable form.
My clay journey
My experience with clay began many years ago in Poland, where I graduated as a ceramic craftsman, and grew in Belgium. I worked there for 6 years in a Belgian company producing handmade ceramic pots. At the same time, I expanded my skills by taking evening classes for ceramicists. In 2018, I completed a 3-year professional training in pottery, after which I decided that I wanted to focus on developing my own studio. My curiosity about the world and my desire for change brought me to where I am now, a one-woman ceramic studio in the CĂ´te d'Azur.
