Polttarit, Synttärit & Juhlat Udumbarassa studiossa.



Keramiikkapaja on hauska vaihtoehto juhlille. Udumbaran studiossa voi jokainen kokeilla onneaan dreijan äärellä. Kokenut keraamikko (Eva Spoof) ohjaajana pitää huolen, että kaikki onnistuvat ja tapahtumasta jää muistoksi oma itse muotoiltu kukkaruukku. 

Aikuiset ja lapset (vanhempien seurassa) ovat Udumbaraan tervetulleita. 
Studio sijaitsee Helsingin Kalliossa, keskeisellä paikalla Sauna Arlan vieressä ja  lähistöllä on monia hyviä muitakin jatkopaikkoja, ravintoloita sekä baareja.

Photo by wonderful Nelli Kivistö. 

The newest addition to Helsinki’s dynamic art and design scene – where you can take a deep dive into two of Finland’s best-known design and lifestyle brands, Iittala and Arabia.
More than a window into the history, present, and future of these legendary brands, the center invites guests to interact with working artists and explore their own creativity through exhibitions, workshops, guided tours, design talks, and events.

I am happy to announce, that among others I  too will give Master Class workshop there, the first ones will be in October and December:







How to use Udumbara wildclay tea bowls.


UDUMBARA’s pieces are made from wild clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, southwestern Finland. So, when you get UDUMBARA, you don't just get handmade pottery, you get a piece of Finland too. 

This natural material gives the products a wonderfully rich earthy character and thanks to the porous nature and rich iron and other mineral content of the clay, tea brewed in a wild clay bowl develops a richer flavor.





Udumbara wild clay bowls are made for use. You have to play with them and caress and rub them with your hands often. Wild clay, gains its shine from your touching and rubbing. A well "loved" wild clay bowl has a better glow than a less "loved" bowl.

The light milky color, glazes will eventually develop fine crackles. As time passes, with use tea seeps in the crackles gives a patina that is prized and brings pleasure to tea connoisseurs. 

Never use soap or detergent on Udumbara wild clay bowls. Use it only for tea, it will absorb tea, as well as non-tea stuff.  Don't put your bowl near any funny smell, especially when they are wet. Use it only for tea.

After use, extract all tea leaves from your Udumbara bowl. Rinse it with hot water to wash away all tea inside. Wipe it with soft fabric to get rid of all water. Then leave the bowl in an airy place to dry.

環境に優しいアースフレンドリーな天然粘土の陶器。北欧風な茶器やフラワーポットの工芸品です。

Lisää kuvateksti


UDUMBRA(ウドゥンバラ)の製品はフィンランドの南西に有る小さな村、クルテラで採取された天然粘土(ワイルドクレー)で作られています。この天然の材料の恩恵によって豊かで自然な土の味わい有る仕上がりになっています。その土地固有なありのままの加工されていない材質を厳選するUDUMBRAはワイルドクレーのユニークでエコロジカルな価値に重点を置いています。



多孔質で鉄分やミネラルが豊富に含まれているクルテラの天然粘土のおかげで入ったお茶はより豊かな風味となります。

又通気性の優れたワイルドクレーの鉢は植物の生理的なニーズに適した理想的な作りとなっています。土に含まれている塩のミネラル成分が吸収や風化を繰り返し、年を重ねるほど味わい深く趣きのある美しい鉢へと仕上がっていくことも、この製品の魅力の一つです。



UDUMBRAはハンドメードなだけではなく、それを手にした時、そこには一欠片のフィンランドが入っている自然陶器です。

UDUMBARA pottery, Ecological luxury, Tea art, and flowerpots.

Earth-friendly pottery. Ecological luxury, Tea art, and flowerpots by ceramic artist Eva Spoof. Creating sustainable eco-energy powered wild-clay ceramics.

Päivi Kuusela. 

UDUMBARA pottery (est. 1994) products are made from wild, natural clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, Southwestern Finland. 
The material gives the products a wonderfully rich earthy character. By choosing this local raw material, Eva wants to emphasize the unique and ecological value of wild clay.


















Thanks to the Kultela clay's porous nature, its rich iron, and other mineral content, tea brewed in wild clay ware develops a richer flavor.



Wild clay planters are ideally suited for a plant's physiological needs. Part of their beauty is their tendency to beautify with age as they weather and absorb mineral salts from the soil.




























When you have an Udumbara bowl, you don't just get handmade pottery, you get a piece of Finland too.

Eva Spoof mark, created from Sarvela family mark. 

Ekologisk lyx av naturlera. Tekärl och blomkrukor gjorda med ettnordiskt grepp.



Keramik från UDUMBARA (grundat 1994) är gjord av naturlig lera från den lilla byn Kultela i Somero i Sydvästra Finland. Materialet ger keramiken en rik och jordnära karaktär. Udumbara betonar värdet av det ekologiska och den unika leran som dessutom är lokal.



Te som bryggs i produkter av  naturlera får en rikare smak via dess naturligt porösa konsistens som är rik på järn och andra mineraler.
Photo by Nina Skogster

En blomkruka av naturlera är som gjord för att tillfredsställa växtens fysiologiska behov. En del av dess skönhet ligger också i att den få en vacker patina då den  absorberar fukt och mineralsalter ur jorden. 

När du har en kruka från Udumbara har du inte bara en handgjord keramikprodukt, utan också ett stycke Finland.

Экологически чистые изделия из природной глины.

Экологически чистые изделия из природной глины.

Керамические изделия "Удумбара" (нач. с 1994 года) сделаны из природной красной глины, добытой в селе Култела на юго-западе Финляндии. Материал придает изделиям богатую природную структуру. Выбирая это сырье, Удумбара хочет подчеркнуть 


уникальность и экологическую ценность природной глины.

Благодаря пористой текстуре глины, ее богатству железом и другими минералами, чай, заваренный в такой посуде, обладает более богатым вкусом.

Горшки из натуральной глины идеально подходят для физиологических потребностей растений. Их красота лишь растет с годами, благодаря получению минеральных солей из почвы.


Приобретая посуду от Удумбара, вы получаете не только керамическое изделие, сделанное своими руками, но и частичку Финляндии.
