Ekologista luksusta, UDUMBARA Studio & Gallery.

Eva Spoof/Udumbara tuotteet, teemaljat, veistokset ja kukkaruukut valmistetaan käsin Someron, Kultelan kylän punasavesta. Materiaali luo astioihin ihanan rehevän maanläheisen luonteen. Tuotteidensa raaka-ainevalinnalla Eva haluaa korostaa ainutlaatuisen kotimaisen villisaven arvoa. Suomalainen savi on lämminhenkinen, kodikas ja ennenkaikkea ekologinen valinta, sillä se ei raaka-aineena vaadi monimutkaista prosessointia ja se poltetaan (Udumbarassa aurinko energialla) matalassa lämpötilassa valmiiksi tuotteeksi. 

Seremonia astioissa villisavi (maa) pääsee ansaitsemaansa ainutlaatuiseen arvoonsa. Kiitos Kultelan saven luonnollisen runsaan mineraalipitoisuuden, tee siinä haudutettuna kehittää rikkaamman maun.

Villisavi terrakotta kukkaruukut ovat huokoisija ja siksi mitä parhaita täyttämään kasvien fysiologisiin tarpeet. Lisäksi ne patinoituu kauniisti kun ylimääräinen kosteus ja suolat haihtuvat ruukun seinämän läpi.

MASTER CLASS WORKSHOP: EVA SPOOF

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.

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.
