Dancak clay teapot 235ml

The artist Aleš Dančák

“When I was a child, I never dreamed of becoming a potter or an artist, not at all. Rather, I spent my entire childhood, adolescence and part of my adulthood searching for what I would like. And in the end I found it. I was lucky.

Attending the same school of potters that his father had attended, Ales approaches a workshop in Oznice, in the Vsetín region where he learned to melt and make molds.

It is here that Aleš Dančák learns a completely manual method of working: he begins to create vases, bowls, trays, taxes and teapots which, thanks to production at very high temperatures, take on special colours that are completely different from industrially manufactured products. Non-conventional, rather unique colours.
