nevena zelunka cvijetic

Hi, I’m Nevena.

Many years ago, I started cooking for family and friends.

That slowly grew into Hleb i Lale, a food blog I wrote for almost ten years. It began with recipes and photography, but it was never only about food. I was drawn to everything that was happening around the table — the morning coffee, the shared meals, the conversations that lingered long after the plates were empty.

In time, I found myself wanting to make the tableware, too.

I first worked with clay in 2015. A few years later, I returned to it, this time with the intention of learning slowly. Since 2019, ceramics have become part of my life, and in January 2023 I opened my studio in Bački Petrovac, Serbia.

Everything that leaves the studio is shaped by hand.

Cups for quiet mornings. Plates for meals shared with others. Bowls that are passed around the table, again and again.

I hope these pieces become part of homes where everyday rituals are cherished, where people gather often, and where the beauty of daily life is found in simple things.

Made to be used, shared and lived with.
