| What I Love about Ceramics | I have been crafting with different techniques throughout my life, but a few years ago, I discovered the power and endless possibilities of ceramics. Working with clay has opened up new doors of creativity and allowed me to create functional pieces of art that can be used and enjoyed every day. I have found that ceramics is not just a medium, but a way to express feelings and emotions. Each piece I create carries a part of me, and it brings me great joy to see others connect with my work on a personal level. |
| How I started with ceramics | It all started with a small yellow pottery wheel that I received as a gift. I took some classes from a local potter named Concha Mota and quickly fell in love with ceramics. From there, I continued to learn and experiment with different techniques and materials, and now, here I am, leading ChiefWitchOfficer Studio |
| What inspires me | What inspires me most is women empowerment. As a female artist and business owner, I am passionate about supporting and uplifting women in all aspects of life. At ChiefWitchOfficer Studio, we collaborate with Kiva, a social lending platform, to use our benefits to support women in financial difficulties and women entrepreneurs. It brings me great joy to know that our work not only brings beauty to the world but also contributes to making a positive impact in the lives of women. |
| What I'm working on at the moment | Currently, I am working on a mission to spread the power of creative leadership to the world. Through ChiefWitchOfficer Studio, I am inspiring and empowering others to ignite their creativity and embrace innovation. I believe that everyone has the potential to be a creative leader, and I am committed to spreading this message far and wide. |
