Thank you for stopping by! I’m Ilze, and I make small-batch pottery in New Providence, New Jersey. This is a quiet gallery of the work I’ve been creating — a space removed from the everyday noise of social media and ever-shifting trends. I cannot say that I’m a lifelong ceramicist — more like someone who fell in love with the process a few years ago and hasn’t looked back since. What started as a creative outlet and a bit of gentle escapism has [not so] slowly grown into a practice I deeply adore and enjoy.
I create most of my work from my basement studio, but I continue to learn at Mud Clay Studio in Madison, NJ — a supportive community that has played a super important role in this endeavor. For now, this is an exhibition room that gets updated periodically, and you can’t purchase items directly through the website, but feel free to reach out at [email protected] if something catches your eye. I also participate in local markets throughout the year.
