GLEENA

All gleena tableware pieces are porcelain and are hand poured and crafted in small batches by Asya Palatova in Cleveland, Ohio... Asya began working with clay while studying graphic design as an undergraduate at University of Cincinnati. The love affair with clay compelled Asya to build ceramic sculptures on her kitchen table while working as a graphic designer in New York City. The kitchen-built sculptures got Asya into the graduate program at Rhode Island School of Design. After earning a MFA with a ceramic concentration, Asya created gleena, a functional tableware line... handmade porcelain tableware made in Cleveland Ohio
