From Nature to Nurture: The Story Behind Orly Pittel - Ceramics By Orly
Nestled in the serene landscapes of an Israeli moshav, where wild flowers dance in the Mediterranean breeze, you'll find the studio of Orly Pittel – a ceramic artist whose work captures the essence of natural beauty in every handcrafted piece.
Where Nature Meets Artistry
For over 23 years, this peaceful corner of Israel has been more than just my home – it's become my source of inspiration. Each morning, I gather flowers from the surrounding fields, pressing their delicate forms into clay to create unique impressions that tell stories of our local flora. These botanical imprints become permanent memories, transformed through fire into lasting pieces of art that bring the beauty of Israeli nature into homes worldwide.
A Journey from Tech to Clay
My creative journey began in my childhood, watching my parents build their knitwear business – a lesson in craftsmanship that would shape my future. Though I spent years teaching computer networking, my heart always yearned for something more tangible. Fifteen years ago, I followed that calling and discovered my true passion in ceramics.
Crafting More Than Just Clay
Every piece that leaves my studio carries a piece of my soul and the spirit of Israel's natural beauty. I specialize in:
- Home décor pieces that bring warmth to any space
- Custom wedding keepsakes that preserve precious moments
- Unique designs featuring authentic Israeli wildflower impressions
- Personalized gifts with Hebrew text and calligraphy
- One-of-kind artifacts that blend rustic charm with modern elegance
Each creation begins with carefully selected clay and blooms collected from our local landscape. The process of pressing real flowers and incorporating natural textures makes every piece uniquely special – like a fossil capturing a moment in time.
From Family Gifts to Global Gallery
What started as heartfelt gifts for loved ones has blossomed into something bigger – a collection of online shops sharing these pieces of Israeli artistry with the world. Each item carries not just the impression of local flowers, but also the warmth of Mediterranean sunshine and the love poured into its creation.
