Tamara designs and produces small batches of simple and functional ceramics, a collection of subtle and sometimes playful iterations of everyday objects. Each piece is made with care, with natural materials, made to last. She explores the qualities of clay by experimenting with different techniques, from wheel throwing to hand building and slip casting. Since all products are made by hand, irregularities may occur on the surface that can add their own character and beauty to each piece. The contrast between the textures of raw, unpolished and glossy, glazed surfaces is emphasized so that the inherent characteristics of the material can shine through.

The journey with clay started back in 2017 in a small ceramic workshop in Fukuoka. During that time Tamara was studying design in Japan for half a year and visited traditional pottery villages like Onta, Imari, Arita and Karatsu. She was enthused by their subtle aesthetics and couldn't let go of this beautiful material ever since. 

a pinch of salt an ever-evolving project dedicated to ceramics and food, by designer, cook and ceramicist Tamara Pešić—from the objects, tools and vessels we use to prepare, preserve, arrange and enjoy food to rituals of sharing and togetherness. food touches on many aspects of our lives, not only by providing us with sustenance but also by reflecting our cultural and communal heritages, the relationships we form with our selves, our communities and our environment in a broader context. a pinch of salt is about celebrating and enjoying food and the ways we bring it to our table, to share it with our loved ones.
