OUR STORY

Hi, I’m Viktoria, the maker behind TORICERÁ. Firstly, thank you for being here & showing interest in how the madness all started, it really means the world to me!

Reflecting on the past, as a young girl, I was a very creative child & loved all things art - drawing, painting, sculpting, you name it - I loved it. As I grew up, the creative spark got somewhat dimmed in the midst of everyday life, however my technical skills & a good eye for detail - as my friends say, always remained.

Pottery & wheel throwing specifically was something I wanted to try since I can only remember & in 2023 I finally attended a pottery workshop to give it a go. Amidst a trying career, I knew I needed an outlet allowing for moments of peace & as I got lost in clay that very first time, well, I knew I have found it. Fast forward several workshops which guided me with the basics of working with clay, I curated my own studio space at home and reignited that creative spark once more.

I started documenting my journey on Instagram & found that a lot of my friends & later strangers appreciated the charm of the handmade & imperfect - just as I do. Orders slowly started flowing in & eventually my business baby was born.

Today, TORICERÁ is a Dubai born passion hobby turned small business venture, providing small batch & custom made ceramics - all handmade just for you.

Working with stoneware, I make functional tableware and decorative vessels, which you can hold, adore & decorate life with. Inspired by nature & texture, my pieces are coated in muted, neutral tones & sometimes the clay is left exposed. I prefer earthy finishings, with the exception of the customisable staples made to order, which allow for a pop of colour to keep it fun!

I make everything by hand, which means each piece is unique & holds room for small differences & imperfections, this is what makes hand made stoneware so special & charming - what you own upon purchasing, is in one way or another truly one of a kind.

If one of my pieces finds a way into your home, I truly hope you love it as much as I enjoy the process of creating it for you, please tag me if you get anything, my heart just bursts!

All my love,

Tori x
