Gerda Satunas
A ceramic artist based in Dunedin, New Zealand, born in Vilnius, Lithuania. After studying and living in Amsterdam, Spain, and London, she completed a BA (Hons) in Costume Design for Performance at the London College of Fashion (University of the Arts London). She worked on projects for Madame Tussauds and the Royal Opera House before transitioning from costume and design into ceramics. Working with porcelain and stoneware clay, Satunas explores transformation, emotion, and a deeply personal healing journey. Her practice merges her European heritage with the natural beauty of Aotearoa, resulting in sensual, organic forms enriched with layered glazes and gold lustre. Currently a postgraduate ceramics student at Dunedin School of Art, she continues to push experimental techniques and intricate sculptural detail.
