This is me, Julia Lienard, behind KUI ceramics. I am a biologist and bioinformatician by training, but I have always enjoyed crafting things by hand \u2014 often functional ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-e25cb0c262f7f194e17f129203b657d7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7b3d0b;font-style:italic;font-weight:300\">I started ceramics at the end of 2022 when I took my first pottery class in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. After a few lessons, I knew I wanted to spend more time working with clay, so I bought a small pottery wheel. Soon after, I set up a home studio with a kiln, where I can experiment freely and create pieces that I occasionally make available here for others to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-a5c29ad4495624317fb6b129e50b55cf wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7b3d0b;font-style:italic;font-weight:300\">Each piece is made in the moment, shaped by intuition, a love of experimentation, and the creative process itself. Guided by visual instinct, I like to play with contrasts \u2014 mixing materials, combining smooth and textured surfaces, and working with asymmetrical details \u2014 shaping each piece to evoke a feeling of softness, calm, and balance. Every object brings together beauty and everyday function, while remaining entirely individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:300\">I do not work in collections or repeated series. Each object is produced in small numbers and naturally carries its own subtle differences in texture and form. Some designs are made only once, while others may come back for a little while before disappearing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-15bfb04a79ee4e3ee94f44b2aac3c081 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7b3d0b;font-style:italic;font-weight:300\">What you find here is a landscape of singular pieces, continuously evolving as new ideas emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images
