Ekatto creates cosy, handmade ceramics and gouache painted art prints for your home. Ekatto pieces aim to create a sense of whimsy, joy, and wanderlust, making functional artwork so that everyday life becomes a little more fun. Based in Scotland, Ekatto pieces draw endless inspiration from the beautiful landscapes and indulges often in mountains with a little bothy nearby. Nature and animals are always the subject of a new sculpted trinket to keep you company during long days working from home, or a fun conversation starter about the ceramic goose on your shelf.
All pieces are made with stoneware clay, painted with underglaze before they are bisque fired and glazed with industry standard, food safe glazes. Learning and developing painting skills with underglaze has been a focus of Ekatto ceramics, using the medium to its fullest to tell stories and make clay a new type of canvas. Art prints painted in gouache of rolling hills are made to compliment the ceramics and create a 2D option for your wall.
The main aim of Ekatto is to make work that sparks joy, that brings colour and excitement to the every-day home. Design that allows people to indulge in child-like wonder and escapism.
