Hi! I’m Laura, a creative based in Copenhagen, Denmark, dipping my toes in all things creative from ceramics, jewelry, drawing, photography and more.

My hands found clay after years of sketching architectural drawings. I trained as an architect at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest, but my creative path veered off-grid and into the kiln after a year of working in an architecture office setting in Frederiksberg, Denmark.

Self-taught in the truest sense (and happily so), I balance intuition with curiosity, learning through experiments, failures, and the occasional cracked mug

I work from Social Pottery, a shared studio in Nørrebro, where I create small-batch ceramic pieces—ranging from sculptural cups to functional objects with a twist. My work often blends simple forms with playful or surreal details, taking inspiration from a wide array of things from cute playful elements to more dark macabre motifs. I’m drawn to decorative elements and how I can turn mundane objects into little unique pieces.

This site is a showcase of my ceramic and jewelry work.
