About me

My name is Catherina Lissner, I grew up in East Germany and moved to Stockholm after my studies in architecture. 2014 I came to the Netherlands and found a quirky house in Almere Haven.

Around the age of 6-7 I started to explore clay and have since not given up on it. The simple pleasure of creating something by hand as well as playing with form and color is the main attraction for me. I also find peace and meditation in the repetitive motion of the throwing wheel.

My work contains mostly dishes (mugs, bowls, plates, etc.) in stone ware, but also sculptures, bird houses and more. I find great joy in firing ceramics in the japanese raku technique. The immediate results, the vibrance of colors and varying craques are a big thrill.

Ceramics was for many years an extended hobby next to my work as an architect. But after a time of sickness I wanted to dedicate my time to my passion for clay.

So after the move to Almere I started my own clay-business Cathi Ceramics.

My work has been shown in exhibits the libraries of Almere.

I participate in the potters market in Gouda and local art markets.

2018-2026 I worked as a clay teacher for a local ceramics coop with nearly 70 members. There I taught many different techniques and gave throwing classes.

All that expertise I want to use now for the start of a small ceramics atelier at home. I am looking forward to do what I like best: sharing my love for clay.
