Tetiana Chekh

Tetiana comes from  Opishnya in Poltava. It is an important point on the pottery map of Ukraine, a centre with centuries-old pottery traditions.  At the turn of 19th and 20th century, it had around 1000 active potters  and their products “travelled” to nearly all continents. Currently, there is a National Museum of Ukrainian Pottery on the site.

Tetiana learned pottery in an art school.  She uses the potter’s wheel but also manually makes figurines and  whistles.
