My name is Aleksander Kozera, and I am a Polish ceramicist based in Warsaw, where I run Yird Studio.

My creative journey began long before I discovered ceramics. Over the years, I explored a wide range of applied arts, including lighting design, digital modeling, 3D printing, and working with natural materials through woodworking and furniture design. However, ceramics has always fascinated me with its beauty and versatility. In 2019, I found the confidence to start working with porcelain, a material that is both beautiful and challenging.

Today, I combine all of these skills to design and create my ceramic pieces. My process begins with 3D modeling, followed by 3D printing master forms, which I use to create plaster molds for slip-casting porcelain tableware.

My work is strongly influenced by Brutalist architecture, as well as by nature. I am drawn to the bold structures, raw forms, textures, and simplicity of Brutalism, while nature inspires me through its colors, organic shapes, and patterns. These influences come together in my ceramics, creating pieces that balance architectural character with the warmth and functionality of everyday objects.

I aim to create ceramics that are simple yet thoughtfully designed, combining distinctive forms with everyday functionality and a sense of beauty.

Thank you for taking the time to visit Yird Studio. I hope my work brings a sense of beauty and comfort into your daily rituals.
