I am Floortje Nina Mast, founder of Studio Nina. In 2023, I traded the busy center of Amsterdam for the tranquility and space of the Frisian countryside. This change of environment quickly turned out to be the beginning of something new. In the middle of nature, I discovered clay. Working and creating with this earthy material opened up a world of possibilities that stimulated my creativity.
Hours in the ceramics studio flew by as I lost myself in shaping with clay. Working with clay brought true relaxation. It was as if I was addicted to creating beauty with my own hands.
While engaging with clay in various ways, my perspective on forms, materials, and the nature around me changed. Nowadays, my sketchbook goes with me everywhere. In it, I capture how I translate my surroundings and experiences into designs.
My passion for design was taught by my parents. My father worked with wood, my mother with fabric, and together they taught me the love for craftsmanship. But it was my grandmother Nina who showed me how to bring beauty, femininity, and style to life. Her influence continues to inspire me every day.
For me, every day is about creating and discovering. Every design that comes from my hands reflects my fascination with femininity, the beauty of nature, and timeless elegance.
My creations are a reflection of my personal vision and invite others to experience the world through my artistic lens.
