Michal Keren Gelman’s ceramics comes to life in a tucked away Galilee studio, clear, clean, bright. With music overflowing and oak trees looming through the window, her potter’s apron and good hands, clay, imagination – creation is happening.
Michal Keren Gelman is a Bezalel, the Academy for Arts and Design in Jerusalem, graduate. She lives and crafts in Mitzpe Hilla, a small village perched on a Galilee mountain-top. Once jewelers, then a stage props designer, her alluring design language is splendidly expressed in her ceramic works.
Michal’s ceramic ware is formed by traditional wheel craft and unique techniques of clay folding, engraving, and silk printing. Though delicate and so fine looking, Michal’s ceramics is amazingly practical, and can be used anywhere in the kitchen, being oven, microwave, and dishwasher proof.
Take the softly winding turn from 89 road (Nahariya –Zfat). Michal will be delighted to show you around her studio, featuring a magnificent collection of clay works. With plenty of courtesy tea freshly picked from her herb garden, served in her handmade tea pot and cups, you are most welcomed to hold and touch, to feel the textures, to enjoy the beautiful pieces made with love and meticulous craftsmanship.
Michal will gladly share her sentiment about art, beauty, and materials life is made of. With great pleasure she will wrap for you the pieces you desire, to take back home for yourself, and for the ones you love.
