Our concept

Lounico is a hybrid concept combining a ceramic painting studio and a gift shop, offering visitors a relaxing creative environment and a curated selection of artisan gifts.


Ceramic Painting Studio

Lounico’s core activity centers on hands-on ceramic painting workshops. Participants can unleash their creativity by painting ceramics such as mugs, bowls, plates, and flower pots in guided sessions. All supplies, glazes, and firing services are included, allowing everyone—from beginners to seasoned artists—to make personalized and functional glazed pottery. The workshops are designed to be social and relaxing, suitable for friends, families, or special group events, and hosted in a welcoming space shared with coffee bar Touche.

Gift Shop

Alongside its studio activities, Lounico features a thoughtfully curated gift shop specializing in unique handcrafted items, including Colombian terracotta pots and hand-painted ceramics. The shop aims to offer useful and beautiful souvenirs, gift cards for workshops, and exclusive pieces sourced directly from artisans. Customers can browse and purchase gifts during or outside workshops. 

Hybrid Space & Atmosphere

The hybrid setup provides a multifunctional space ideal for both artistic expression and shopping. With its collaboration with coffee bar Touche, guests enjoy refreshments amidst plants, pottery, and artisanal gifts, making the studio a neighborhood hub for leisure, creativity, and discovery. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, welcoming all ages and creative abilities.

In summary, Lounico stands out by merging a pottery painting workshop with an artisan gift shop—offering both hands-on creativity and unique gifts in a friendly, hybrid space in Ghent.

Colombian Boho pottery

When you say Colombian Boho, you say terracotta pots! The Colombian Boho terracotta plant pots are handmade by craftsmen in the village of Raquira in Colombia. Making pottery has been a tradition in Ráquira for centuries because of the natural presence of clay in the area. Read the whole story here and find out how the terracotta pots are made from natural clay.

With these unique terracotta designs, Colombian Boho is unique in the European market. Terracotta is the best way to keep your houseplants alive because it absorbs excess water from the soil. However, for terracotta fans there are currently not many options other than the classic terracotta pots found in garden centres. Colombian Boho meets this need with these exotic terracotta eye-catchers.

Plants

We offer a variety of small to medium plants. Because we are now focussing more on the ceramic painting workshops, we don’t have big plants anymore.

Jewelry

Lounico is not only a plant shop, but concept store with all kinds of unique finds, also jewelry.

We currently sell gold plated jewelry from Bachue: a Colombian brand of unique handmade necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Everything is handmade in Colombia.

You can also shop Blomista flower jewelry. These necklaces and earrings are handmade with real flowers by Ilze, a local Belgian artisan. All flowers have a different meaning, making it a really original gift!
