Ildiko’s interest in ceramics began many years ago in Hungary, where she commenced her studies under the guidance of experienced ceramicists. Years later, after settling in London, she felt drawn once again to the captivating world of clay. Since then, she has been creating her work with dedication and passion, continually refining and expanding her skills.

Her practice explores and reinterprets natural forms, textures, and colours, drawing inspiration from waterside landscapes, their eroded surfaces, and their quiet, rhythmic presence. Both her sculptural works – often totemic in character– and her vessels reflect these organic shapes and richly textured surfaces.

Ildiko is deeply inspired by the creative possibilities that clay offers. She primarily works with stoneware, while her jewellery collections are crafted from porcelain and black clay. Each piece is hand-built, unique, and carries its own individual story.
