M-Kovács is a hungarian ceramic addict and
Professional mould maker,
Working as a full-time designer and sculptor
BASED in Budapest_Leiden Netherland.






I became acquainted with ceramics 13 years ago. My professional career has started in 2015, when on of my dinner sets were exhibited in the hungarian Museum of Applied Arts. Mostly I make interior design products, tableware for restaurants, self-induced studio ceramics pieces and sometimes I work as an exhibition organiser. I am also the founder member of CriminalCraft , which is a young artists’ community. I prefer all types of techniques and materials, it is pretty important to me to create artworks which are not defined by the technical knowledge but a basic idea, so that can lead me to choose the proper type of clay and performance.​
