Meet Your Instructor - Mojca Vidmar from Studio Roka
Hi, I’m Mojca .
Seven years ago, I fell completely in love with ceramics. For me, working with clay was never just about making objects, it was a meditative escape, a quiet ritual, and a way to anchor myself back into my body amidst the rush of everyday life.
Five years ago, I took that passion and founded Studio Roka here in Zurich. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant, creative community and a second home for hundreds of pottery enthusiasts. Having spent thousands of hours teaching both beginners and advanced students at the wheel, I know exactly where the friction points lie.
Plates are notoriously one of the most frustrating forms for intermediate potters. They love to crack, warp, or lift. But there are no shortcuts in pottery, only a deeper understanding of the material. In this class, I am taking everything I’ve learned from running my own production and studio to help you trust your intuition, master the physics of clay, and create pieces you are proud to serve on.
