Meet Clay
Telfer
I'm a ceramic artist and teacher based in Amsterdam, working with clay since 2019. After starting my own studio in Canada, working as a production potter, and teaching at studios across Amsterdam, I became the owner of Clay Ceramics Studio (formerly Clay Coffee) in May 2025. I love bringing my dog Otis to class, and in my spare time, you’ll usually find me experimenting with new firing techniques or tinkering with the kilns.
Begum
Originally from Istanbul, I am an Amsterdam-based ceramic designer with a background in ceramic and porcelain casting, drawing design, hand-building, and sculpture. I teach hand-building and Nerikomi courses at Clay Ceramics Studio and also supports the studio as an assistant. Outside of the studio, I enjoy researching and exploring both ancient and contemporary Japanese ceramic techniques and traditions.
Kaden
I have been doing ceramics since 2014. I started with a passion for large, wheel-thrown vases, and in recent years have become more drawn to making shapes such as bowls and cups. I love making objects that are thoughtfully designed and are comfortable for people to use on a daily basis. I am an instructor at Clay Studio, and in my classes I encourage students to make objects that they themselves find beautiful and enjoy using.
Bianca
I moved to Amsterdam four years ago from Oradea, Romania. At the end of 2022, I attended a pottery workshop and haven’t really stopped since. I now make functional ceramic tableware on the wheel, and every now and then I go on a little side quest, hand building larger pieces. Alongside my own practice, I work as a studio assistant for a ceramic artist and teach intro workshops and longer wheel throwing courses for beginners.
Keri
I'm a ceramic artist and teacher at Clay Ceramics Studio based in Amsterdam. Originally from the US. I was first introduced to pottery in school in 2008, and later returned to ceramics after moving to Amsterdam. I love making functional pieces that can be used in every day life, playing with shapes, sizes and colors. I gain lots of energy from the excitement of new students being introduced to the world of ceramics.
