Founded by Myrza de Muynck after graduating from The MA Fashion Program at Central Saint Martins in London in 2011, Myrza makes small editions and one-off pieces of ceramic objects, artworks, and garments, using multiple forms of handcrafts, blending digital processes with traditional handcraft. Currently, Myrza works in the UK countryside, about an hour from London, drawing inspiration from the serene and natural environment.

​

The ceramic objects and accessories are delicate and mostly made from porcelain with the aid of a 3D ceramic printer. By using this technique there is a juxtaposed interaction between the hard technical precision and repetition of the printer and the soft and malleable handmade shapes and character of the clay. The threadlike shape of the extrusion is worked with as if embroidering with clay. The soft shapes and colours emphasise a feminine and intimate world encoded.

​

The artworks are mostly designed by cut-up 'ready-made' garments and pieces of cloth that are immersed in a composition exposing intimate and human characteristics, creating an anthropomorphic play. The garments are used as a medium and are bent into an image on a canvas; taking an exterior that is meant to cover up and cracking it to reveal the insides, exposing something naked, raw, and internal, creating an intimate visual language.

​

She has worked with a.o. Bottega Veneta, Martine Rose, Orson & Bodil, and as an embroiderer and artist assistant in the art industry for Tracey Emin and Michael Raedecker. Her work has been featured in magazines like Vogue, The Face, TANK, POP, Purple, Marfa Journal, Wallpaper, Dazed and Confused, Girls Like Us.

Myrza’s work is available through selected stockists, and she is open to commissions and collaborations.
