Our Story

Pottery studio in the city center

Open the door, smell the clay, and stay for a workshop.

The Beginning

A quiet encounter of hands, clay, and the city

Moare was born from silence: from fingers in cold clay, from the Adriatic light on the windows of old Koper, and from a street that smells of stone and salt. In the studio on Župančičeva, a step away from the sea, we started slowly - the wheel, the kiln, the thread, the canvas - so that each piece gets time and becomes real, with the trace of the hand that held it.

Mission

Things made with the intention to live with us

We work with our hands: unique ceramics, jewelry, and textiles in small batches, each with its own irregularity that is a signature, not a flaw. Handmade work carries time that cannot be returned, and a story that only begins when you take a cup or earrings into your home - to hold them, wear them, gift them, and let them gather life.

Vision

A studio where the city breathes through clay

Moare should remain a living space in the heart of Koper: the smell of clay, shelves with unique pieces, a wheel spinning as footsteps flow through the old core outside. Not a factory, but an encounter - workshops, quiet hours, coffee, and a piece that goes home, with the light of the Adriatic in its glaze and Koper in its palm.

Forever

When clay turns into memory

Old Istrian towns have secrets; in Koper, one smells of damp earth and salty wind. From clay grow bowls like little boats, from thread sails, from metal drops of the sea. When you take such a piece with you, you are not taking an object - you are taking a piece of a city dreaming by the Adriatic, and a fairy tale that continues every time you touch it.
