Hello! My name is Olga and a potter, I have been doing ceramics for over 7 years. 5 years ago I opened a store and decided to show Ukrainian goods to the whole world.
We decided to call our store Lihtar - it means lantern in Ukrainian.
At the beginning, three people worked in our store - me, another potter and artist, we sold our products at exhibitions in Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Poland. Sgraffito products designed by our artist Yulia Dunaeva were very popular in Germany.
Now our team has more than 10 people - a ceramist from Western Ukraine Mykola, who joined the army and wanted to support his family, an elementary school teacher Galina from Cherkassy, who raises a child herself and makes beautiful bells, as well as other ceramists Anton, Nikolay, Irina, and Anika who bakes tasty and healthy cookies.
I am glad to share our creativity with you and give you a piece of Ukraine. I really hope for a speedy peace!
Olga
