about yishai simon
Dear friend,
My name is Yishai Simon I'm a Ceramic Artist and Art therapist. Ever since I was a young child in elementary school, I felt a strong connection to the arts. The thoughts, ideas and sensations during the process, took me to a quiet, internal place.
The form of the clay, the colours and textures of the finished product, is what motivates my creativity and the creation process again and again.I love throwing and exploring different movements in the clay, thus creating the prefect-imperfect amorphic products.
Today, I run my own Art Studio in Portugal and give seminars and workshops in Portugal, Israel and around the world. I also present my work and products in design galleries, taking part in exhibitions and working with special people through art-therapy.
about my work
My creations are one of a kind. Each and every one of them is made meticulously and using different techniques.
Inspired by nature and its variety of textures, each piece is embedded with my love. Different procedures require a change of temperature:
Dinnerware & Sinks is burnt at 1220°C
Raku is burnt at 1050 °C
Gold over glaze – 800 °C
All of my ceramic ware is glazed with lead free and non-toxic glazes. I mix myself all the colours and glazes that wrapped my art and create the special textures.
