According to the legend the Golem was an artificial clay man, made by the Rabbi Yehuda Leow Bezalel. This clay man was a servant to his creator until one day he suddenly stopped being obedient to his master. There are few different versions about the reason why this happened. He became a rebel and devastated half of the town Prague, which was at the time the capital of the Bohemian kingdom. According to the legend all this happened in the sixteenth century. What we liked about this story was the idea that the fate of human creations does not lie in the hands of its creator, and in the end, it is about a guy made of CLAY - our favourite media. So we chose him for our name. The logo was created little bit later by our good friend Petar Boychev.
We still like the name and the logo after so many years, so look like that rush brainstorming worth the efforts :-)
Q: What inspires you in your work?
A: Living in Bulgaria, the crossroad between Europe and Asia we have developed eclectic interests and tastes, which are reflected in each of our creations.
Although most of our work cannot be associated directly with any specific national tradition or style, we incorporate patterns taken from a variety of ancient and contemporary art forms. We find our inspiration from different parts of the world and ages.
Traveling is our favorite way to spent our time and money, but we are also trying to get some small bit from each travel to incorporate into some of our pieces.
The visits in Istanbul for example was resulted by this pendant together with few else.
Probably the most inspiring place that we ever visited is the town of Barcelona, Spain. It's a real heaven for any artist, especially for the ceramic artists. Our visits there ended in a whole category of pendants. Here are some examples.
