vargasvargas is an advocate for conscious consumption. I believe in choosing objects that can stand the test of time as companions in our lives.
With the right care, ceramic objects can be soo long-lasting. Ultimately, despite being stoneware, ceramics can still be fragile. Yet in this ambiguity lies its essence. So if a piece breaks, let it be a gentle reminder of life’s delicate beauty.
Isn't it remarkable how mud and water, when combined, transform into long-lasting stoneware objects—pieces that may even outlast us?
I'm Katja Paulina, the founder of vargasvargas.
With a background in film and tv, a relatively young art form, I found myself drawn to one of the oldest crafts— a timeless art that became the perfect channel for my need to create. I took my first steps in 2017 at a small studio in Hamburg where I learned from an exceptional teacher and artist.
Each piece I create is handcrafted and unique, reflecting my personal taste and aesthetic principles. A poem to the imperfect. I work both on the pottery wheel and with the hand-building technique in my small Berlin studio.
