Exhibition - 11–13 November 2026 · Pottery & Poetry, Sofia
Can design influence the way we experience taste? Pottery & Poetry and Amor Y Sal present an exhibition and two multisensory workshops exploring Calassi and Materia Mensa, where food, wine, art, craft and science meet.
Handmade, unrepeatable, made for everyday use
At Pottery & Poetry we design and make porcelain plates, bowls, cups and serving pieces by hand in our studio in Sofia. Each piece is shaped and glazed by our ceramicists, so no two are exactly alike. We make everyday dinnerware, statement pieces for special occasions and custom ceramic collections for restaurants, hotels and businesses, bringing traditional craftsmanship together with contemporary design.
Porcelain tableware, unique designs
Custom design service
For restaurants, hotels & lifestyle brands
For your home
Plates, bowls and cups made to be used every day, in glazes you won't find anywhere else. Our collections share carefully developed glazes, shapes and sizes, so pieces mix easily across a table, from quiet minimal settings to bold, expressive ones. For everyday meals, for entertaining at home, or as a ceramic gift that will be used for years.
For chefs
We work with chefs from the first sketch: shape, size and glaze are built around the dish and the service. Restaurants, hotels, concept stores and creative brands work with us on tailored collections. Each piece is made in our signature style and adapted to your space, your menu and your story, from a single signature plate to the full service.
For curators
Corporate gifts, small editions for concept stores and pieces for galleries and boutiques, designed together with you and made by hand in our studio.
We've got several plates and bowls for our home, then got some more to gift to our friends for their new home. Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship, artistic and high quality handmade tableware. I cannot recommend them enough.
Absolutely brilliant. I had the pleasure to join one of their 2-days workshops. Great mentorship, very well organized, great vibes, and very productive. I've been a fan of the brand for a few years now and I'm slowly building a collection of their amazing works.
Best place to buy world class handmade ceramics not just in Sofia but in the whole region. The shop is like a gallery and you can also take a look at how people made them at the studio. If you are looking for an exceptional gift or just like to buy beautiful stuff this is the place I'd totally recommend!
