A Ceramicist Shaped by Craft, Culture, and Color
Behind every handmade object is a maker with a story—and for Edit Juhasz, that story is as layered and beautiful as the porcelain she throws on her wheel. A ceramicist, designer, and lifelong craftsperson, Edit’s work brings together tradition, vibrant color, and contemporary form in a way that feels both joyful and quietly grounded.
A Journey from Hungary to Handmade Living
Edit’s creative roots go back to her childhood in Hungary, where the culture of craft and making was part of daily life. Growing up in a country with a rich tradition of ceramics, embroidery, folk art, and functional design, she was surrounded by beauty made by hand. Her early exposure to craft didn’t just shape her aesthetic—it taught her the value of patience, skill, and the soul that goes into every handmade object. She has studied ceramics design in college-Sarospatak. After school , she was an apprentice in South Hungary, Baranyajeno at a well-known cermicist couple. She learnt a lot, gathered experince in throwing, painting, decorating, selling her first pieces.
Later on she worked with various artist in Budapest then starting to establish her own studio practise.
Hungarian folk ceramics, with their earthiness and bright, expressive decoration, subtly echo in her current work. But rather than replicate the past, Edit reinterprets tradition through a modern lens—playing with clean forms, contemporary silhouettes, and a signature palette of bold, joyful color.
From Designer to Maker
Edit has been a designer for over two decades, and her creative career has always been led by the question: How can we bring beauty and meaning into everyday life? Her journey into ceramics came from a desire to reconnect with materials, to slow down, and to use her hands again.
After years of working in design and visual culture, she turned toward clay—drawn to its tactile immediacy, its unpredictability, and its rootedness in the body. Learning to throw porcelain by hand became not just a craft, but a practice in mindfulness and presence. Each mug, bowl, jug, and wall piece she creates is an extension of that quiet focus.
Colorful Porcelain with a Soul
What makes Edit’s ceramics instantly recognizable is her fearless use of color and playful shapes. Her pieces are not only beautifully functional—they’re mood-lifting objects that celebrate everyday rituals, from morning coffee to a shared dinner. Her love for color ties back to her Hungarian heritage, where textiles, embroidery, and ceramics are often rich with vibrant motifs.
But the real magic is in the details: the way a jug curves just so, the balance of a handle, the satisfying weight of a bowl in your hands. Her work is refined, but never too serious—it’s designed to be lived with and loved.
More Than Tableware: A Ceramic Universe
In addition to her tableware collections, Edit has recently expanded into wall pieces—modern mosaic-style art tiles that echo the same palette and spirit as her porcelain. They’re a natural extension of her love for pattern and modular design, and they bring a fresh, graphic energy to interiors.
Craft with Care
Every piece in Edit Juhász Ceramics is made by hand in her studio, with a commitment to sustainability, quality, and care. Her work invites people to slow down, to reconnect with the things they use every day, and to surround themselves with objects that bring joy and meaning.
She works with hotels, Windsor-Oakley Court, Melia – Milan, Lisbon. Her work is in several UK craft galleries, Ruthin Craft Central, Scottish galleries, interior shops, Soho House.
Her studio is in South London, Thames-side studio, Unit 4- 040, along the Thames.
