Alexandra Zhiguleva
Ceramic Artist, Co-founder of Mud Dauber
Alexandra Zhiguleva (or just Sasha) is a ceramicist based in South Goa, India, where she lives and works surrounded by tropical forests, rivers and traditional village life. Originally from Russia, her creative journey has been shaped by two cultures, blending European artistic sensibility with the raw beauty and slow rhythms of India. Working primarily with clay, she creates tactile, organic pieces inspired by nature, ancient craftsmanship and the imperfect beauty of handmade objects; her practice also extends into painting, natural building and immersive art experiences. Together with her family she founded Mud Dauber, where she shares her passion for ceramics through workshops, artist residencies and retreats. For Alexandra, art is about slowing down, observing, experimenting and finding joy in the process itself — she believes everyone has a creative voice waiting to be rediscovered.
