Milan Pekar

Milan Pekar, a renowned figure in the ceramics realm, is a designer, maker, and educator born in Prague, Czech Republic. Pekar's journey in ceramics began with his graduation from UMPRUM Prague in 2006, where he now imparts his expertise as an assistant professor. Inspired by a relentless passion for innovation, Milan established Milan Pekar Studio in Prague, a space dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramic techniques. Rather than adhering to existing norms, Milan embarked on a quest to forge something entirely unprecedented. Through extensive research, experimentation, and a series of trials and errors, he successfully developed a groundbreaking glazing technique, which he has employed since to craft unique vases and captivating objects.
Pekar's distinctive Crystal Glazes, as he fondly calls them, bear a top layer disrupted by various chemicals, resulting in the creation of the most enchanting patterns imaginable. This unique approach has catapulted Milan's creations into the catalogs of the world's most prestigious shops and galleries, solidifying his position as a trailblazer in the world of ceramics. In addition to his creative endeavors, Milan is a assistant professor at the Applied Art University in Prague, he shares his wealth of knowledge, fostering the next generation of innovators in the field. Milan's commitment to constant research, experimentation, and material exploration continues to define his artistic journey, making him a distinguished figure in the contemporary ceramics landscape.
