My name is Alena, I am a French, Russian and Ukrainian artist and potter living in Galway, Ireland.

My main source of inspiration for ceramics comes from Japanese and Scandinavian design, as well as the Irish landscape and the natural world. I mostly create functional objects and believe that using hand-made objects can enhance our everyday life. 

My cat Finnegan is the manager, quality control supervisor and moral support assistant for my business, also occasionnaly a model for social media posts.
