| Introduction |
Hi I’m Cajuga which is the short form of Carolyn June Gates and I live in Cologne, Germany. I’m an Art teacher, working in many techniques but for my self I like to work on the potters wheel and to hand-/slab build.
I joined to share in a worldwide pottery community and to inspire and  be inspired by other artists.

| What I Love about Ceramics |
I love ceramics because you can build almost anything out of this fascinating material. At the same time it is a huge challenge, frustration and bliss are very close to each other in the process. Clay is a master in teaching you perseverance.

| How I started with ceramics |
I actually started with ceramics in 1988 as an exchange student in Charleston SC. But back in Germany I chose to follow a different path, until I got my hands back on the potters wheel in 2015 and fell in love again. Since then I expand my skill, frustration level and profession.

| My Artist Statement |
Just like a good song, Art is the language of the heart…
what I show you
is never what I show you
but something else instead
It captures the thing that escapes meÂ
and yet I live from it
What I show you
isn’t necessarily what I show you
but it captures what I mean
which I could not just say to you
in mere words
