Thrilled to have a piece in @vogue_turkiye's September edition about my upcoming solo show in New York at Zetterquist Galleries. Many thanks to Gamze Kantarcıoğlu for such a positive article; as well as to Frigesch Lampelmayer and Thomas van Schaik for their beautiful photos.

Delighted to share my interview Turkish weekly newspaper Oksijen published in this week's edition. I answered questions about upcoming and biggest exhibition in Boston at Pucker Gallery opening in a couple weeks, what inspires me and what it's like to live and work abroad.

Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft. Which tells me that occasionally, if not often, people assessing your future potential based on past performance don’t know shIt about anything.

NYT: "Clothing sales fell by 79 percent in the U.S. in April, the largest slump on record. But purchases of sweatpants were up by 80 percent." Maybe not such a bad thing that people are buying less disposible things... Not sure about sweatpants becoming so popular though... 🧐

This gem is going to its new home at
@cartier Dubai today! It was acquired for their VIP room. ✨ I’ve always thought of certain pieces as gems but it’s wonderful that Cartier thinks so too! 🦋💕💫 #ipekkotan #cartier #atelier27paris

Me finishing off the trimming of a large piece (but not the largest I’ve ever made), 2012. It’s not easy or fast to make a 20kg piece but most people don’t know is you end up spending at least as much time trimming as you do making the piece...

#ThrowbackThursday One of my favorite pieces ever from a photoshoot back in 2015. It's not even a big piece, slightly larger than my palm. Some of my best works are these little gems. This piece found a home in a private collection owned by a lovely couple in California. #gems

Sculptural vessel #131, thrown on wheel using Limoges porcelain, glazed with aqua blue crack glaze, 2016. This piece was sold on opening night of my solo show at Puls Ceramics in Brussels to a Belgian collector.

Love the way these little gems catch the afternoon light. Post-bisque and sanding, pre-glaze. #ipekkotan @ipek.kotan #littlegems #finecraft #contemporarydesign #contemporaryceramics #adriansassoon #puckergallery #liaigre
