GOLEM
Ann Maliatski is an artist and creator behind the GOLEM brand. Coming from a rich architectural and design background, Ann is translating her experience into functional and decorative ceramic pieces. She uses a variety of clay forming techniques in her practice. Wheel throwing, slip casting and hand building, are just a few. This results in unique one of a kind objects that never cease to amuse. Ann usually fires her ware to cones 6 & 10 in an electric kiln. Her colour pallet is reserved, but expressive, often highlighted by a stroke of gold to emphasize strong, gestural, organic lines of her creations. Ann equally loves working with private clients as well as big corporations. She feels like every project pushes her further and enriches her professionally and creatively. Ever since opening her studio in 2011, Ann made dishes for multiple stores and restaurants, including Botanist, Hachiro Ramen, Soar Organics, Giving Gifts, Maven Fort Langley, The Window, Urban Gardener, and Hudson’s Bay, with clients from all over the world. She makes to order several signature lines - Whistler, Particle, SIMPLE, O-planters and FLOW, and produces several seasonal capsule collections each year.
By buying GOLEM’s creations you not only support the handmade movement, but also gift yourself a timeless, contemporary ceramic piece that with gentle care will serve you for many years to come!
We are moving and renovating the new space!
In summer 2021 GOLEM will be transitioning from industrial studio to a new space ajusent to Ann’s house. This change is a reflection of Ann’s new path of becoming an Art Therapist. GOLEM will focus on working with local stores and businesses, to later integrate therapeutic practices into its operation. We are really excited for this transition and look forward to seeing you at our new place!
Private classes will be happening in Fall 2021.
