Designer Biography
Livia Gorka
1925 — 2011
Livia Gorka, a Hungarian potter, took a certificate as master potter in 1947.
The source of her art is nature from which she typically crafts large asymmetrical vessels, idols, fish, birds, stones. She adopted the pre-wheel archaic technique of working in clay to create unique artefacts, generally in series and groups of objects.
Her techniques are unusual: she makes high-fired items of her own clay bodies, often stoneware and uses oxide-glaze.
