Hi I'm Saskia

I founded ARAI ceramic in 2023. ARAI means "rough" in Japanese – a word that perfectly captures the character of my porcelain pieces.

I work intuitively, with my hands, guided by feeling rather than formula. Nature is my source of inspiration – its textures, quiet rhythms, and ever-changing forms. I’m drawn to tactile surfaces, raw edges, and the imperfect beauty of natural shapes.

Working with porcelain is a way for me to find balance – to slow down, be present, and create with intention. I love to explore structure and form, always with a sense of play and curiosity.
