I started working with clay many years ago and enjoyed it so much that I enrolled in a 2-year course where I learned about enamels and building techniques. Later, I set up my own workshop where I produced mostly utilitarian objects which were sold in various craft shops.
Then came a long pause (20 years) and I’m now starting again, experimenting mostly with free-hand modelling. I’m using coil and slab techniques to produce my pieces, experimenting with different shapes and trying to develop a language of my own. The slow pace of this process fills me with peace & calm.
