I’m Dovilė and I’ve never been the girl who dreamed of becoming a potter.
Pottery knocked into my life quite unexpectedly. While having tea (or maybe coffee) with a friend, she told me about a pottery club she was attending. I was surprised because I had never even heard of pottery courses for adults.
At the time I had a monotonous and not very fun job, so I decided that after work I also want to try and mould a pitcher, for example. I didn’t even notice how the pottery club had become a big part of my life. A year later, I started working for my ceramics teacher, I graduated in ceramics studies, and since December 2019, I have been enjoying my own studio “Lapės keramika” (Fox pottery).
Pottery is my meditation, concentration, creativity, freedom, communication and self-discovery. I enjoy every day spent moulding or glazing. But the best moment by far is the opening the kiln. It is the moment when you see how bright colours shine and what end result my imagination had created.
