Hi, I'm Ira

Smiling woman in a black outfit sitting in a plant-filled room with bookshelves, records, and a floral orange balloon.

I'm the artist behind Irka Byrka, based in Amsterdam and working with ceramics and illustration.

My practice combines handbuilt ceramics with playful, collage-inspired drawings. Using bold colours, simple shapes and expressive lines, I create objects that feel light-hearted and personal.

Each piece is made by hand in my home studio and reflects my ongoing exploration of form, texture and storytelling. I make small-batch functional ceramics, collectible objects and art prints.

I also host ceramics workshops in Amsterdam and am open to retail partnerships and collaborations.
