Handmade Ceramics from the Heart
Welcome to Julems, my collection of handcrafted ceramics. Each piece is shaped, decorated and finished by hand, reflecting the care and passion I bring to every design.

About Julems
Crafted by Hand, Inspired by Passion Every piece from Julems Ceramics is a testament to years of dedication, starting with Judith’s first encounter with clay in 2016. Guided by her background in interior design and illustration, her work reflects a meticulous attention to detail, blending geometric patterns and organic aesthetics. Each item is hand-thrown and decorated, showcasing the highest level of care and craftsmanship that speaks to Judith’s passion for clay and its endless possibilities.

The Art of Precision and Patience
The beauty of Julems Ceramics lies in the details. While only 25% of the time is spent on forming pieces, the remaining 75% is devoted to intricate decoration and glazing. Techniques like sgraffito, wax resist, and hand-drawn patterns ensure every piece is one-of-a-kind. Judith’s hands-on approach to her craft brings a unique balance of form and function, infusing each creation with a sense of harmony and timeless design.
