Pottery and people

Red bowls by Galit Sofer Mizrachi

When I was living in New York, many years ago, I took a pottery class. It was amazing. I enjoyed it immensely and was so sad to leave it at the end of the year when I returned home. Time past since then and the idea of taking it up again came and went. 

When I joined the design complex "Designers in the city" where my Sheeebz studio / shop is located, I was happy to discover that I was surrounded by potters.  As well as creating (AMAZING pieces, might I add.. ) some of the potters offer to teach pottery. Though I have not yet taken them up on their offer I would love to go back and potter again!

Right across from my shop you will find the oh-so-talented (!!!) Galit Sofer Mizrachi who is a Bezalel graduate. Galit's pottery varies from bowls to mugs and even cute little magnets.

Her style is clean with a lot of earthy tones, she uses alot of natural feeling textures. Another great thing about Galit's pottery is that it is very light weight! Pottery in its finest! 

Located right across from my shop at Bezalel 7 in Jerusalem you will find her shop - with pieces of her work peeking from the window..

 Lets step in and check it out..

Here we find Galit working on the wheel..

These mugs are as mentioned before light weight and so very fun to hold and drink from.

Galit uses a technique in which she makes prints of different images on the pottery. Here is a tiny bowl great for salt or olives. Oh, look a fly!

Here are some earthy mugs with no handle so they are cozy and fun to hold.

Galit makes many bowls in this shape. I love it, it's unique and specious. It can be used for casarolls or can be a decorative piece to serve fruit in.

And here is a lemony colored bowl for a summer day!

Are you in to black coffee? Well these are Galit's pottery adaptation to the classic glass cups!

So check out Galit's Facebook page to stay updated and stay tuned for other features of "Designers in the city" on my blog!

If you are traveling to Jerusalem come visit us at Bezalel 7, in the designers complex. We are both here among a bunch other talented designers in fashion, jewelry, accessories bags and more!

Till next time,
