soul-made ceramics

Artist and co-founder of International ceramics center Atelier Janja Gora

Artistic vision, high quality execution and meticulous technical performance meet here - in the space of timeless, soul-made stoneware.

As a ceramist with over 20 years of experience, Danijela continues bettering her craft and coming up with brilliant solutions involving clay.

Clay is an ancient material that is still relevant in the modern day, even more-so as we look and opt for more sustainable and eco-friendly options in our every-day lives, while giving ourselves the gift of beauty and luxury in the process.

Here you can find Danijela's latest designs as well as a portfolio of her work.

All the pieces are handmade (without potter's wheel) and completely unique high quality stoneware which is food, oven, and dishwasher safe.

By getting a closer look of the possibilities, feel free to commission Danijela for your own individualized project; be it decorative and useful pieces for your Air'b'n'b, luxurious tableware for your restaurant or your home, or a thoughtful personalized gift for colleagues, friends and loved ones.
