Mudspot Amsterdam

making Amsterdam a better plate

pottery isn't dead.

we pursue humanity’s oldest craft, continuing a tradition that connects us to generations of makers before us, setting in stone a snapshot of humanity’s present for eternity.

if a pot we made is found long after we’re gone, it should be a handmade piece that carries our backgrounds, culture, and worldview, not an impersonal mass-produced mug.

pottery is a timeless craft, a way to speak to people who might uncover our work long after we’re gone. as independent makers we’re not here to feed the economy, but to tell an honest story of humanity.

the founders

we are four independent potters and good friends, sharing a collaborative workspace where we create our ceramic work

Magdalena

with a background in psychology, Magda harnesses the therapeutic power of pottery to support mental health and wellbeing. using clay as her medium, she brings to life the magniﬁcent creatures and magical places from the parallel universe that exists in her mind.

Daan

drawing inspiration from the ancient traditions of
Chinese teaware and Japanese tableware, Daan employs carving and bamboo brushing techniques, ﬁnishing each piece with unique glaze combinations developed through hands-on experimentation.

Karez

Karez developed a strong appreciation for ritual, flavour, and presentation. her pieces designed to be used, encouraging the owners to slow down and appreciate the moment and escape from a fast-paced and uncreative corporate world.

Yotam

with background in graphic design, Yotam thinks in geometric shapes and explores the thin line between form and function. he loves celebrating the natural qualities of his clay, allowing its natural properties to be felt and admired.
