About a dream

 

Hi!

Welcome to Gioia Ceramica.

My name is Thalita, and I live in Brisbane. I’m originally from Brazil and have Italian family roots.

So, if you’re wondering, the shop name “Gioia” means “joy” in Italian.

I’ve always been fascinated by various art forms and spent a few years, as a teenager, making and selling jewellery back in Brazil.

Many moons later, now living in Australia, I felt a strong call to create again. I decided to revisit my old passion and try making earrings once more—but this time with clay. Why not?!

I’ve spent more than a year experimenting with stoneware clay, glazes and underglazes. Clay is an amazing medium that offers endless creative possibilities and a process that always teaches something new. It has a mind of its own, and the finished results are always a surprise.

From an idea to the final piece, this journey fulfils me both creatively and spiritually. It is my passion.

Thank you so much for your interest and for spending time in our little Gioia Ceramica earring shop. We’re truly enthusiastic and passionate about every creation.

Thalita
