• Aleksandra makes decorative and functional ceramic plates with the kora technique
• She is inspired by people and the way they perceive the world
• Her objects are made with visually impaired and blind people in mind

Aleksandra Wyszatycka is a ceramicist who specialises in the kora technique – a type of faience decoration in the form of a poured relief. "As a child, I visited an earthenware factory and immediately fell in love with underglaze-painted ceramics," she says. However, Aleksandra did not get into the craft right away. A graduate of Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts, she spent years working as an interior designer. In 2020, Aleksandra finally dedicated herself to ceramics full-time and founded her own atelier called Pateria Ceramics. She actively casts plates in moulds and hand paints underglazes in making her creations, influenced by the ceramic heritage of her region. "I am inspired by microcosms, nature and people's individual perception of the world," she explains.
