What I Love about Ceramics

My studio is my playground. Stoneware clay is my medium with endless possibilities. I feel like a child when I’m working with clay – happy times

 

How I started with ceramics

My bachelors is sociology. After graduation I started to take pottery classes. Then I turned my home into a studio. Pottery became my passion.

What inspires me

Circular forms, female body, flowers, body parts
