About.

“As I begin each piece there is no preconceived vision of what I want to create, I let my hands interact with the clay organically. Once I am halfway through, the piece begins to form and I know where to take it. The clay is my way of telling a story.”

Elena Strohfeldt is a ceramicist based in Naarm/Melbourne, who specialises in hand-built forms. She creates modern ceramic sculptures by shaping raw clay with her hands. Her pieces are sculptural, but also functional, combining both art and design. Elena’s colour palette consists of textured earthy tones, such as brown, cream and sand. Through her work, Elena explores the intersection of art and functionality, creating unique and visually appealing ceramic pieces. The organic hand built vessels features heavy carved patterned designs.
