Claywa born from the union ofclay, “clay” in English, andwa, a Japanese term meaning “harmony”: a balance that reflects the soul of the project and the vision of its founder.

Behind Claywa is Marta Cazzaniga, an Italian photographer and artist based in Milan. Growing up in the art world, she developed a strong interest in the handmade and the human value each artisanal object brings from an early age. After studying communication and photography and gaining professional experience in the fashion industry, in 2021 she turned to ceramics, giving shape to a new expressive exploration.

Claywa was born in 2023: a project that celebrates imperfection as an authentic value. Each creation is characterized by the marks of the manual process, the grooves left by hands and tools, intentional traces that make each piece unique and irreproducible.

Claywa offers objects in which material, gesture and sensitivity coexist, far from mass production and close to an idea of sincere, intimate and profoundly human beauty.
