Ceramics by Tiz: Handcrafted Stoneware and Contemporary Pottery
Ceramics by Tiz is a professional pottery studio and creative brand founded by Tiziana, a Maltese ceramicist whose work is deeply rooted in the exploration of clay's versatile nature. With a background that spans studios in Edinburgh, East London, Tallinn, and Berlin, the studio brings a diverse range of cultural and aesthetic influences to every piece. Ceramics by Tiz specializes in handcrafted stoneware, primarily focusing on wheel-thrown functional tableware designed for both residential use and professional culinary environments, including collaborations with various restaurants and cafes. The artistry of Ceramics by Tiz is defined by a commitment to experimentation with glazes and firing techniques. Tiziana custom mixes high-fire glazes to create distinctive finishes that complement the durable stoneware medium. The studio’s portfolio includes not only dinnerware sets and coffee cups but also artistic ventures such as raku-fired sculptures and anagama-fired vases. These pieces often feature contemporary forms that highlight the interaction between material and process. Based in Berlin, Ceramics by Tiz also serves as an educational hub, offering pottery workshops and lessons to share the craft with others. Whether through functional tableware or expressive wall sculptures, the brand emphasizes a modern aesthetic and the timeless appeal of handmade ceramic art.
