Ash Bloom 02 is part of Chala's Garden of Ashes Collection which showcases wood-fired pieces. With this colleciton, the colors on the vessels greatly vary with every angle because they are constantly influenced by their position inside the kiln, and the amount of ash accumulated during the firing process. This porcelain wood-fired piece is finished with a special Shino glaze.

I started out as a fashion designer in my hometown of Istanbul; however after nine years, I craved a break from the fast pace and long nights. Swapping one metropolis for another, I found a home in Brooklyn in 2019, where I was curious to try a ceramics class. From the first moment I worked with clay, I knew this would become a permanent fixture in my life. Converting a corner of my apartment into a “Tiny Studio,” I found solace at the pottery wheel where each day I happily discovered a liberty this art form provided me. What started as a hobby quickly developed into something more as I found creative freedom and felt compelled to pursue ceramics full time. ‘Dear You’ was founded during the pandemic when I discovered that people appreciated and wanted to buy my porcelain pieces.
Often, I start with something in mind and let my hands do the work in tandem with my eye. I employ wheel-building and hand-building (coiling) techniques to ensure each piece is an original; sometimes among the petals you may find handprints and/or fingerprints. My pieces are fired in
the gas kiln at Gasworks NYC Studio, one of only three studios using gas-fired kilns in New York. The porcelain offers a luminescent quality, which allows me to adorn my pieces with paper-thin petals and blooms. Still relative newcomer to ceramics, I love exploring techniques and styles as 
‘Dear You’ itself blooms. Join me on my journey…
