Gleena Studios

Gleena Studios, all of her dinnerware pieces are porcelain and are hand-cast and made in small batches by Asya Palatova in Cleveland, Ohio. She started working with clay while studying graphic design at the University of Cincinnati. The love affair with clay forced her to build ceramic sculptures on her kitchen table while working as a graphic designer in New York.

The sculptures built in the kitchen allowed Asya to enter the graduate program at the Rhode Island School of Design. After obtaining an MFA in ceramics, she founded Gleena, a line of functional tableware. Asya mixes her own porcelain slip and glazes using food-safe clays and minerals, all recipes Asya developed at RISD.
