Handmade Is Unique, High-quality And Special
Every object has a function and represents some quality. I don't underestimate industrial products, without them the world wouldn’t be what it is today.
But then, why choose handmade? Handmade products represent something more. They are more valuable and there are many reasons for this.
Handmade Products Have A Story
Someone’s thoughts, turning into reality. From the beginning to the end. Something that is personal. It creates a kind of connection between the creator and the user of the product that is meaningful.
Handmade Products Are Unique
You won't find two pieces that are exactly the same, and that's al right. I strive for perfection, but I know it's unattainable, as in so many areas of life. But it doesn’ matter, maybe perfection doesn't even exist. The point is to keep it in mind when I am in the process of creating. Uniqueness represents a special value, which - even if it looks similar to the others – makes each piece different. Like our fingerprints or the color of our eyes.
Handmade Is The Best Gift
Not only for you can it be special, but for the person to whom you give it as a gift. Because of its uniqueness. If you give it to someone as a gift, they'll know you really thought about them. That you spent time choosing the gift and really wanted to give something special.
Handmade Products Have High Quality
I choose the raw materials so that the product represents the highest possible quality in the end, and the creation itself brings me joy. From designing to the final product, I pay attention to every moment, so that in the end truly valuable pieces are born.
Handmade Is Directly From The Creator
You also purchase it from me. I, myself, stand behind the imaginary counter if you do this online. You can ask me for help, you can ask me questions and I will definitely give you the relevant answer. I make every piece myself, I choose the raw materials, I know when and how I put it in the kiln, at what temperature I fired it, how I let it cool before I opened it... Simply, I know every step of the creation, I have all the information in my head.
Supporting Something Important
And last but not least: when you buy handmade, you are supporting something important. Our tradition has history. We keep arts and crafts alive, and I hope we motivate others as well.
When I give someone coffee or tea, I always serve it in one of my own cups or mugs. The curious looks, the questions all indicate that the value it represents makes it truly special. For me, drinking coffee is a daily ritual. I drink espresso and two things are important to me:
it must be made from good coffee, and
the aesthetics of it.
This is how the experience is complete for me.
