Collection: IDO FERBER

I was born in a small town in the center of Israel known by locals as the Israeli Toscana, filled with vines and olive groves. My father is an olive farmer and beekeeper, and my mother is an educator. I was raised in nature, walking the fields of my childhood barefoot. At the age of 15, I picked up ceramics as an escape from the mundane school system. After my military service, at the age of 22, I joined small carpentry. Learning the basics of woodworking and widening my skill set. At 24 I left the carpentry to work as an apprentice blacksmith in an artisan metal shop. At the age of 25, I began studying industrial design at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, Israel. Implementing the skills I gained to design products. At the age of 31, I received a scholarship from the Japanese government to pursue a research master’s degree in the ceramic craft at the Tokyo University of the Arts in Tokyo, Japan. That is where i am still today.
