My journey into pottery
Selena studied at the Art High School in Treviso, Italy, where she followed the sculpture program with great passion and dedication. After finishing school, she didn’t think working with clay could become a real profession, so she continued her studies, moved to Turin, and graduated as a graphic designer. She then worked in that field for the next ten years.
However, she couldn’t fully express herself, so she left her job to explore the world of food, thinking she could channel more creativity into the dishes. But even that path didn’t bring her what she was looking for.
In 2023, she moved to Lisbon, and the following year she finally gifted herself a pottery wheel workshop she had dreamed of for years—hoping to reconnect with a passion she had long put aside.
From the very first moment she touched clay again, she knew that this had always been her true path. Not only had she rediscovered her passion, creativity, and that long-lost spark in her eyes, but after feeling lost for so long, she had finally found herself again.
Today, she works full-time as a ceramicist and has founded her own brand, Spazio Selena, a space where she gives full expression to her creativity—crafting collections that bring beauty to the tables of those who purchase them. Her work is inspired and enriched by all the beauty around her, as well as by the artistic techniques and skills she has acquired over time throughout her journey.
