About Mindful Atelier

Hello! I am Gokce (pronounced gurk-che), the founder and owner of Mindful Atelier. I have been a passionate ceramic artist for 11 years, I am also a meditation & mindfulness practitioner, qualified yoga instructor and an animal lover. My ceramics experience is the result of many years of training and study as well as extensive travel. Throughout my studies, I always considered working with clay as a meditative practice which turns off a higher level of thinking. You have to let go and give in to the unpredictability of it. When I combined the result of my meditation and mindfulness practices with my academic research, my works turned into a reflection of positivism, stillness and peacefulness with organic shapes and soft colours. I believe in a better-designed world. I try to create a world for people who feel and believe in the same way, communicating my message with my handmade ceramic pieces. My aim is to make you feel the art and inspire you with good feeling every time you reach for the mug, plate, cup or other items. Mindful Atelier products are handmade with dedicated craftsmanship, using the best materials possible." ​ With love, ​ contact: mindfulatelier@gmail.comRead their story
