My name is Tatiana Garevskikh. I live in St. Petersburg, Russia and love creating things in ceramics!

Since 1992 I've been addicted to clay. After a decade of independent study combined with hands-on experience I now create joyful ceramic bells, figures, plaques, pots, vessels, statuettes, wall panels, tea cups and bijouterie, etc. I used to work hard and found a possibility to unite the production of popular enough souvenirs and creative exhibitional pieces of work. I have had several exhibitions in Russia and repeatedly took part in exhibition-fairs in Norway. In 2002 I have had an exhibition in Paris, France. Since 1997 I have been a member of the International Art Foundation. Also I had a useful experience as a teacher when I was teaching children in clay modeling according the Russian traditions. The children created toys from an ancient method.

I'm happy now, in these pages, to show you the work produced by myself and Andrii Yefremov, our beautiful frolicking ceramic bells, figures and plaques. All our models are representations of historical figures stylised in historical dresses as well as a range of fantastic, jolly gnomes. They are from 12 to 40 cm high and measure from 8 to 12 cm in diameter. Bells are hung up by thongs and their legs take the form of clappers.

All items are made manually only, so each bell has its personal character.

All pieces are fired twice in an electric kiln in an oxidation at 1000°C.

All of our bells are glazed. Glazes are of various colours and chemical composition.

All pieces are glazed individually. We make new ceramic models constantly.

We take photographs of the most interesting figures and place the photos on these pages.

My name is Andrii Yefremov and I also work in ceramic design. I was born in the Ukraine but now I live and work in St. Petersburg, Russia. I have fifteen years experience of modelling things from clay. Over many years I gained a high professional standard in carrying out this work, through many discussions with other artists in this field and from printed information. Tanya and I joined our own studio and contribute to each other’s work. We have had several joint exhibitions in Russia, Norway and France. I also exhibited my pictures in Archangelsk, St.Petersburg and London. Since 2001 I have been a member of the International Art Foundation.
