About Me

Introduction

Hello!

As a beginner, I feel like there is a whole world of ceramics to conquer. There is so much to learn, and I hope the Ceramic School will provide ample resources for learning, as it already has. Thank you!

What I Love about Ceramics

I really had no idea how versatile clay is as a material. I especially enjoy the recyclability of the material. I enjoy finding out more about the many sides to the material, and its historical, physical and metaphorical layers.

How I started with ceramics

I started eight years ago. As an arts teacher I needed to be able to teach kids how to work with clay. I didn’t really get anywhere at first. Clay felt foreign as a material, having being used to drawing and painting. Later I tried combining clay with these two.

I tried throwing this spring 2021, and had an heureka-moment.. the wheel felt like home.

What inspires me

Colour, shape..

What I'm working on at the moment

I’m working on small pots for all those little flowers my children give their mom:)
