Out of her London Fields-based studio, Kana London Studio (which now accommodates a large team working for the brand as well as a range of workshops throughout the year), Slovenian-born sculptor Ana is all about soft tones, raw textures and hand built aesthetics. Throw in a bit of gold leaf here and there, a few fun words and the result is just plain beautiful!
“I’m interested in de-artifying the object. I love a raw aesthetic and even when I was making sculpture, I would leave my fingerprints on the work for a more tactile surface. A good potter is trying to achieve perfection, but I want each one of my ceramics to be different.” – Ana

Used by a growing fanbase of chefs and foodies in recipe books, personal blogs and Ig accounts – from Jamie Oliver to Ottolengi, Hemsley & Hemsley to Vogue UK as well as a couple of our favourites – Sarah B of My New Roots and Tieghan Gerard of Half Baked Harvest – Ana’s pieces are well-known on the foodie scene, to say the least.
Her collab with figurative drawing artist Alexa Coe resulted in beautiful one-off pieces: Shop here
