Dawn Hajittofi
Since discovering a love for ceramics in her teens, Dawn Hajittofi always planned to work with clay and become a maker. Although life ultimately took her on a different path, she decided in later years to pursue her original passion. She became a full time maker in 2019. Dawn currently lives and works in Surrey.
Dawn takes her inspiration from the unpredictable and unexpected nature of life’s events. She aims to convey the possibilities of hope and transformation.
Each of her pieces is thrown in earthenware and decorated with abstract marks using a combination of slips, underglazes and oxides. Partially glazed and fired several times, Dawn also adds gilt to the surface. This references the ancient Japanese art of ‘Kintsugi’ in which a treasured ceramic, if broken, can be repaired using gold. She considers this to be a metaphor for our own lives. A reminder to stay hopeful when things fall apart and celebrate what we learn from our flaws and missteps.
Ways to view
Sometimes it is helpful to see one or more paintings in your own home before deciding whether or not to go ahead and make a purchase. We can also offer advice on where to hang one or more paintings throughout your home.
Please get in touch with us to discuss any requirements that you might have.
We accept Visa, Mastercard and Amex, in person, over the phone or via our website. We also offer Own Art, which allows you to pay up to £2500 in ten interest free instalments, and take the artwork home. Larger loans may be offered with Own Art at our discretion. We can also offer interest free in-house payment plans. Please note that in order to comply with HMRC’s Anti Money Laundering Legislation, all transactions over 10,000 euros require us to undertake Customer Due Diligence.
