My story

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Hello, my name is Gabi and PannaManna Ceramics is my third child.
PannaManna was born out of love.
I love telling the story how I fell head over heels with ceramics when I attended the first ever ceramic workshop: while working long hours in my academic career, I did not realise how much I missed the overwhelming joy of creation.
Until I prepared my first set of plates: it made my hands dirty and gave wings to my mind. This feeling of fulfilment is that I am trying to pass on to my own workshop participants these days.

 

I WANT TO FEEL THE SAME!

 

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED

Clay is a mysterious, marvellous material. It connects you to nature instantly and brings back the happy memories of muddy puddles and sandcastle building.
Yet, clay is a great teacher: it requires you to stay humble and patient, be consistent and focused and sometimes just let go.
For me, making ceramics and raising children go hand in hand – similar life lessons from both exercises: successes, failures, wonderful surprises, constant learning. 

MY HAPPY PLACE

My ceramic studio is my lab, my happy place, my playground.
I genuinely enjoy learning about ceramics. About the process, the materials, the techniques. This experience has been the most exciting research I have ever conducted and brought me to a place I have not been for a long time.

Join me and let us discover together the stunning world of handmade ceramics!
