Les Rucinski

Les has been exploring its possibilities with curiosity and craftsmanship. Over the years, he has mastered a wide range of techniques—from throwing and casting to slab building—bringing both precision and playfulness to his process.

Les creates both functional and decorative pieces, often combining clay with other materials to elevate the final form. Practical objects are rigorously tested—used, refined, and sometimes completely reimagined—until they meet his high standards for usability and design. Decorative works, on the other hand, are shaped by a fine art sensibility, where surface, colour, and texture are carefully layered and reconsidered until the piece feels complete.

Every item is handmade in small batches—usually just two to four of any one design—making each piece distinct and quietly individual.
