Description

Daga Design is a ceramics studio located in Minneapolis which produces fine art collectables by using unique glazes and forms of our own creation. The Daga Design studio was set-up by Maigonis "Mike" Daga after he relocated from Australia in 1960's. M. Daga had begun his career in studio ceramics in 1954 just a few years after arriving in Adelaide, South Australia as a refugee from Latvia and WWII. These earlier works focused on but were not limited to functional forms. Once in America M. Daga produced ceramics from his home until 1970, when he opened up his studio at 4505 34th Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN. were it remains to this day. During the 1970's M. Daga produced a number of commissioned works including the 'Sears, Vincent Price National Treasures'. This work replicated colonial Williamsburg pottery from the 1700's. In the 1980's Daga began sculpting and producing the animal forms for which he has become widely known. Maigonis Daga passed away in 2001 and the studio was closed up for a number of years. Today the Daga studio has been revived and refitted. The threads of the past are woven into the second generation through the synergystic collaboration of Maigons Daga, his son Ilgvar Daga, and Camdon Magnus. The follow pages will introduce you to the studio as it is today. You will find we are now using hand cast bases, enviromentally aware glaze recipes, and a website complete with a gallery and providing secure online purchasing...
