About Me

Your pronoun	her
Introduction	I identify as a Diasporist Jew. My ceramics practice gives me a way to connect all of the elements to my spiritual alchemy.
What I Love about Ceramics	It’s versatility. How tactile it is. The challenge. How it combines all of the elements- Earth, Water, Fire, Air. It can be simple or complicated. It can be monochromatic or insanely colorful. It can be purely decorative or, on the opposite spectrum, purely functional. It truly is alchemy.
How I started with ceramics	I started in high school with some figure sculpting classes. A couple of classes in college. Fast forward 15 years and I now live on an island with a community ceramics studio and I am absolutely obsessed!
What inspires me	My Spirit, my experiences, my emotions, my struggles. The universe. Trying new things, just seeing what the clay wants to do. Sacred geometry.
What I'm working on at the moment	I Want to successfully make a goblet and a closed shape. I really want to try carving into clay.
