Architect Dóra Ottmár moved to Mencshely from Budapest in 2009. She started to deal with pottery seriously in this enchanting village. Non-series pottery jewels and everyday objects are made in her workshop. Apart from colourful jewels, she makes terracotta plant pots from stripes, floor vases, hand-wheeled, glazed ceramic mugs of coloured material, jugs, little bowls with pottery colours, as well as Christmas decorations and balls can also be found among her works.
Her typical design includes colourful flowers, spiral lines and geometrical patterns. Her jewels reflect cheerfulness and joy, as the necklaces, medals, bracelets, heart-patterned rings decorated with flowers and lace patterns glitter in pastel colours and more powerful shades, as well. Each element of her jewellery is hand-shaped, thus giving them rustic style but suggesting that each of them is unique and special. The shiny, colourful glaze makes them rather decorative.
At Christmas, she is happy to make aroma lamps, candlesticks and decorations.
