our story

clay gave us room to slow down.

We’re parents to two little girls, partners in life and Brno natives. We share a love of making, trying new things and creating places that feel meaningful.

Making together at a table in atelier grohova

One of us is an architect, the other works in IT and has a creative streak—and that combination is what brought us to pottery.

Working with clay became a way to slow down for a while, keep our hands busy and clear our heads. That’s how the idea for the kind of shared studio we would want to visit ourselves began.

Places without pressure to perform. Places where the journey, experimentation and the joy of what is taking shape all matter equally.

our values

what matters to us

Pottery doesn’t have to be about perfection. What matters more is having room to begin, experiment and find your own rhythm.

  • process, not performance

    Making doesn’t have to be a race. We leave room for focus, personal ideas and the journey towards a finished piece.

  • room to experiment

    Clay lets you change direction and start again. There’s room here for trials, mistakes and unexpected ideas.

  • the joy of sharing

    Everyone arrives with a different idea. But a shared studio comes alive when we make side by side.

where to find us

two ateliers,
one idea.

Klei Atelier brings together atelier grohova and atelier václavská. Each has its own rhythm, but both exist for the same reason—to give people in Brno a place to work with clay.
