Clay and Glaze: An Ubud Open Studios off-shoot event

This Ubud Open Studios off-shoot event featured a panel of speakers who unveiled the process behind their ceramic glazes and clays. Held at the new Guten Morgen Coffee Lab in Ubud, around 40 people turned up to hear the stories from the kiln. The three speakers included Seline Kocher from Mahteh Ceramic, Suzan Kohlik from Sari Api Ceramics and Pasthika Maya from Kevala Ceramics.

This panel delved into aspects of ceramic artistry, exploring topics such as the properties, sourcing and preparation of different types of clay for Indonesian makers. Glaze experiments, making homes for coral babies, setting up Ubud’s first high-firing studio 25 years ago, waste in the industry and what it’s like creating ceramics & running a studio in Indonesia were all covered during the discussion. Thank you to Guten Morgen for being a wonderful host and lending us your beautiful space!
