Hi, nice to meet you
I’m Karolína Kučerová
I am an American-born craft artist with Czecho-Slovak roots, currently based in Stockholm. My travels shaped much of my path, and I discovered ceramics by chance when I joined an evening course and felt an instant connection to clay. Since then, I have studied glass and ceramics in the Czech Republic, Israel, Japan, and Sweden.
My work explores visual and tactile softness through research, experimentation, and intuition. I aim to create from a steady inner place so each piece carries something of my own presence.
