Having lived in many countries, I am fascinated with different techniques that arise from specific cultural contexts. For me, clay is a material that can be forgiving, sensitive, boundless, and therefore provides a serene concentration that welcomes all types of people.

When it comes to making in clay, I have experience in hand building, carving, mold-making, and throwing. Personally, I like to tune into the sometimes overlooked or minute details which can add a lot of value to a simple form.

I am a firm believer of “learning by doing.” I hope to provide the appropriate guidance that could enrich your experience in ceramic craft and art!
