About

Hi! I'm Umit Launn, a potter based in North London.

I make hand thrown ceramics on the pottery wheel, with a focus on tableware and homeware.

My aim is to create work that uplifts the everyday, with handcrafted pieces that are designed to become part of your daily life and rituals - from your morning coffee mug, to a decorative vase in your living room.

Formerly a photographer and digital artist, I’m drawn to geometry, symmetry and angular forms in my work, and love layering glazes to create pieces with texture and variation.

All my pieces start as a ball of stoneware clay, before being carefully thrown, trimmed, glazed and fired. There’s something magical to me about the process of creating items that will be used every day; I hope you find something you love.
