The name Tammekese keraamika is related to my own surname Eichen, which means oak in German. Oak is my favorite tree – roots deep in the ground and branches high in the sky. The clay is definitely related to the roots and being deep in the ground – we can draw strength and energy from it so that the branches can float carefree in the wind.

Tammekese ceramic products are made of our local reddish-brown Häädemeeste clay and German white high-heat clay. Just as each person is different in nature, different clays have their own color, smell and warmth. What I like is that I can offer products with different textures, colors, shapes and energies. The customer can feel for himself and choose just the object that speaks to him. Clay is a symbol of life and way of thinking that can be shaped exactly as we want it to .. Come and try to make friends with clay too!
