Merve Gökgöz

I was born in Turkey and I graduated as an art teacher from Gazi University in Ankara, Art Teacher department. While teaching, I took part in many exhibitions that Gazi University held. After working as an art teacher for nearly 3 years, the pandemic began. I started creating at that time; first, I made little pieces and sketches and then I evolved vessels and larger objects.
I was lucky to have started working ceramic artist in personal her studio to get a closer look into the practice of ceramics. During this time, I started producing my own objects. Luckily, two of my vessels were selected to the 1000 Vases exhibition in Paris (held during Paris Design Week). This was an amazing opportunity for me because I was able to meet ceramic artists from all around the world. Currently,I am working on producing a new collection for this new season.
