In her studio, Anna Tou’s ceramics bridge the gap between the tangible and the intangible, blurring the line between art and craftmanship. Her work is an ode to the material and revisits the natural properties of clay.

Based in Brussels, Anna Tou works as a freelance designer, collaborating with brands in fashion and gastronomy on branding and visual design projects. Alongside this, her professional experience has expanded through various graphic design and art direction projects. During a two-year stay in Toronto, Canada, Anna discovered ceramics, an art that would become central to her career. Trained by Japanese ceramicist Joni Moriyama, she quickly developed a passion for the craft. Once back in Brussels, she enrolled at the Academy of Arts to refine her ceramic skills. Driven by a desire to practice her knowledge, she set up her own studio in her house, where she creates her pieces while sharing her passion through workshops and training sessions.

Anna Tou believes that working with clay can restore our connection to nature. At the heart of her practice, clay becomes a living material, a witness to human existence and humanity. Inspired by her heritage from western France, she reminisces about ancient stones to capture the present and the past. This return to the source becomes a form of active meditation, where the mind finds freedom through the material.

In Anna's studio, there is no phone signal, offering a space for complete disconnection. Here, she welcomes fellow enthusiasts, creating a place to share knowledge, where everyone can step away from modern-day pressures and reconnect with earth and creativity.
