BRONZE is a tableware range of depth, strength, and quiet elegance — born from anthracite stoneware and finished in a rich metallic glaze that reflects both earth and fire. A collection that carries weight, presence, and a grounded sense of ritual.

SAHARA is a quiet celebration of warmth, simplicity, and timeless form — named after my filly Sahara, born here on our farm. A matte beige porcelain range shaped by patience, landscape, and a glaze I have worked with for over a decade, now finally allowed to express its full potential.

In my ongoing exploration of teapot design, I have been refining both form and function — introducing elegant removable metal handles and experimenting with integrated fine mesh strainers for effortless brewing and easy cleaning. These subtle innovations allow the teapot to remain a ritual object of beauty while embracing modern practicality, where every detail supports both grace and everyday ease.

We probably kiss our mugs more often than our partners — and that makes the choice of mug surprisingly sacred. From personal ritual to wholesale collections, each one is shaped to offer comfort, presence, and a quiet sense of belonging in the hand.

Warm welcome for Benjamin, Christian and Monika from USA, Nadine from Germany, Maud from Sweden, Alice from UK and Erasmus+ intern Anna Vainu from Estonia.

Four months of dedicated work have culminated in our biggest commission yet — a body of over a thousand handcrafted pieces, unified by precision, restraint, and a quiet dialogue between form and surface. A milestone that reflects both trust and the evolving capacity of our studio.

We proudly hosted our very first 1-week beginners pottery course. This intimate week marked the beginning of their journey with pottery — filled with curiosity, creativity, and the quiet joy of learning to shape form with their own hands.

Warm welcome for Aino from Finland, Andrew from Ireland, Alena from Austria, Kate from USA, Odrija from Latvija and our horsemanship student Marlene from Germany.

The endless hours in my alchemy lab - The Glaze Room - has brought us a fantastic, new surface finish. Here is layering of 3 different glazes creating the Luminescent Pearl collection.

This guest bedroom is part of our Creative Sanctuary — a quiet space shaped by natural materials, craftsmanship, and intention. Located beside the Laima Ceramics studio, it welcomes guests of our residencies, internships, and courses into an environment that encourages rest, simplicity, and creative focus.

In this work, I explore large-scale coiled floor vases finished with my signature metallic matte bronze and volcanic-crater glazes. These surfaces, shaped by trapped gases erupting through molten glaze, echo lunar landscapes and cooled lava fields — a dance between intention and the unpredictable force of fire. Each piece becomes a raw, tactile expression of geology, time, and transformation.

The RUST range emerged from a series of intuitive glaze laboratory experiments — a palette of orange, tan and deep brown tones that feel both earthen and unexpectedly warm. A collection that carries the quiet glow of oxidised metal and the comfort of sun-warmed soil.

From puzzled smiles to delighted discovery, these quirky porcelain characters have charmed tea lovers since 2013. Designed for loose herbal tea and crafted with care in Latvia, they celebrate both tradition and collaboration — and a journey of embracing my identity as both maker and designer.

After years of working with volcanic glaze, this finish revealed something unexpected — a delicate inlay of bubbling texture set against pure white, creating a contrast that strangely resembled lace.

LEAF is a quiet celebration of nature transformed into elegance — abstract burdock leaf patterns flowing across pure white porcelain, creating a surface that feels both organic and refined. A collection that softly holds the meeting point between wild growth and graceful restraint.

Our first collaboration in the “material world” unfolded quietly, playfully, and naturally — a meeting of clay and wood, form and function, guided by shared life, creativity, and love.

Born from the moment a tired perfectionist chose to let go, Wabi Sabi Rocks is a collection shaped by surrender rather than control — raw, imperfect, and deeply honest in its form.

A 10,000 km road trip to Portugal with our puppy Džera became a quiet discovery of teamwork, love, and the unexpected magic that unfolds when two creative worlds meet on the open road.
