Ceramics

Livia Gorka, born in Nógádveröce, Hungary, earned her master potter certificate in 1947 under the tutelage of her father, Géza Gorka. As an independent artist, she initially worked in the Gorka workshop in Veröce until 1959. After that, she established her own studio.

Inspired by nature, her creations features large, irregular vessels, idols, fish, birds, and stones. Gorka has embraced the prewheel archaic technique for working with clay. Her pieces are unique, but she also favors creating series and groups of objects. She typically produces high-fired items using her clay bodies, often opting for stoneware.

She frequently employs oxide glazes and combines clay with metals. Her works, characterized by their strong plasticity, feature a reserved color palette.
