About Me
I’m Ayse Habibe Kucuk, a ceramic artist blending the rich heritage of my Turkish roots with modern, minimalist design. Born and raised in Gaziantep, Turkey, a city known for its deep cultural history, my early life was shaped by the vibrant traditions that now inspire much of my work.
After studying sculpture at Sakarya University, I discovered my passion for hand-built ceramics, where I create each piece from scratch. My signature style combines the raw beauty of textured surfaces with the delicate elegance of lace patterns, softened by neutral-toned glazes. This harmonious blend of organic and refined elements captures a balance between nature and minimalist aesthetics.
Now based in London, I run a studio in Broadway Market, where I create unique, handmade pieces that reflect both tradition and innovation. My work, exhibited internationally, invites viewers to engage with the interplay between past and present, merging Turkish influences with a contemporary vision.
I had an amazing time at Ayse's workshop class! She made the whole experience enjoyable and approachable, even for beginners like me. I left feeling inspired and with a beautiful piece I crafted myself. Can't wait to come back!
