Malwina Kleparska, born 1990 in Sweden, is a ceramic artist and designer working predominantly in stoneware clay. With her hands as primary tools, Kleparska employs traditional hand-building techniques such as coiling and pinching. Her work is characterised by deliberate imperfections and visible fingerprints, a testament to the handcrafted nature of her work.

Through her process-driven approach, Kleparska aims to seamlessly blend functionality and sculpture. One of Kleparska’s fascinations lies in exploring the negative form – the hole, a reoccurring element in her design. The human touch evident in every carefully crafted piece is a reflection of the countless hours of practice and experimentation that have gone into its creation. A lifelong passion has shaped Kleparska into a devoted ceramic craftsperson. Her work demonstrates a deep understanding and appreciation for the material that she continues to explore and develop.

Kleparska's ceramics have gained recognition through awards and grants, including The Art and Craft Prize by Plaza Interior Magazine in 2019. Her work has been exhibited internationally in cities such as Milan, Switzerland, Paris, Belgium, Stockholm and Gothenburg.
