Celebrating 10 Years of Creativity
At Ceramics Sculpture Studio we’re proud to be celebrating 10 years of learning, creating, and inspiring through clay. Over the past decade, we’ve cultivated more than just a space for making pottery, we’ve built a welcoming ceramics community in London, where creativity thrives, connections are made, and people come together to explore the joy of working with clay.
The studio isn’t just about the ceramic pieces we shape, it’s about people. It’s about the quiet joy of making, the rhythm we all fall into when our hands meet the clay. It’s about discovery - those shared, meaningful moments when the material responds, when an idea begins to take form, when a simple lump of clay transforms into something uniquely personal.
Cosmin Ciofirdel is a ceramic artist and educator based in London, UK.
His passion for ceramics began in childhood when he first discovered the magic of clay while playing along a riverbank. Since then, he has dedicated his life to exploring, learning, and sharing his expertise and love for working with clay.
In 2015, Cosmin founded Ceramics Sculpture Studio with the vision of creating functional pottery for everyday use, crafting unique ceramic sculptures, and fostering creativity through the art of clay.
