About

Micha and Atalia - Pottery & Art Studio

In Kibbutz Kalia, in the magical Dead Sea landscapes, the couple Micha and Atalia live and create.

The studio is situated right in their own courtyard, but don’t let this mislead you… we’re talking about a spacious studio, full of good things.

Works of art and creativity – the fruit of their own hands – together with the purity of pottery, are presented to those interested in just looking, or in buying. Throughout, you will hear explanations of the story behind the art. 

Micha and Atalia soak up their inspiration from the Dead Sea and, because of their love of the area, they use natural materials straight from the wildness of Nature surrounding them.

From among their creations, you will find a wide range of uses. These extend from decorative items for enhancing the home and work environment, to functional articles such as crockery.

Each pottery item undergoes meticulous, professional firing that ensures the highest quality and durability.

The highlight is a combination of workshops and creation under the guidance of Micha and Atalia, based on advance booking.

Come and experience the wonder of creation!
