About Me

                    

Hello! 👋 I'm Duygu.

Pinchwerk is my creative space where I design bold, characterful pieces that stand out. I combine traditional ceramic techniques with modern and daring forms to create handmade objects and pieces that bring a unique touch to everyday tables.

I draw inspiration from the natural forms of the human body, creative energy, and ancient symbols. Each piece is not only about aesthetics, but also carries a story, a feeling, and an energy. I mostly use a hand-shaping technique called pinching. This process is entirely instinctive and organic; sometimes, historical forms take on a bold modern twist, and other times, a playful detail adds a touch of humor. Maybe what I design is a bit out of the ordinary, but I can say that my life is shaping up to be out of the ordinary as well.

Pinchwerk is not just a brand for me, but also a part of my journey to realize my dreams. That's why I design and produce each object with my own hands.

I think about how impressive an object can be and how much it can add color to people's daily lives. As I think about this, I develop my playground every day to reflect my creativity and imagination. 🤏
