Because I use pinching and slab techniques, each owl, gnome, or bird is a one-of-a-kind sculpture rather than a mass-produced replica, ensuring that the companion you pick is truly yours alone. My process is slow and intentional. I believe that clay has a memory, and my hands-on approach with pinching and slab-building allows me to infuse every figurine with its own personality. Whether it is a parliament of owls with their wise, sleepy eyes or a family of gnomes meant to bring luck to your shelf, I spend hours on the details. I use high-fired stoneware for these sculptures, which makes them durable enough for display on your desk, bookshelf, or even a covered balcony. Because I hand-paint every feather and fur detail using underglazes, the colors are vibrant and won't fade. Please note that since each one is a one-off creation, once a specific piece finds a home, I cannot make an exact duplicate. However, if you see a style you love and it is marked as out of stock, reach out to me. I often take custom orders for these characters depending on my current workload in the studio. To keep them looking their best, a gentle dusting with a dry cloth is all they need. They are art pieces, so keep them away from hard surfaces where they might take a tumble. ## About Curiocity by Lidwin I'm Lidwin, and my studio is where clay turns into little stories. I started this journey as a way to keep my mother’s love for collecting figurines alive, and now, it’s my way of sharing magic with your home.
