It is always delightful to visit exhibitions, design fairs, to meet other craftsmen, designers, and to see all the new creative ideas and efforts put into transforming our life and surroundings. It feels uplifting when I see interesting designs and demanding craftwork. It makes me proud to belong to this un-dogmatic group of people.

I feel fortunate that my working method allows material testing and free, creative experimentation to precede the birth of a functional item. If I was designing only for the purpose of fulfilling a certain function, I would get different results. To me, experimentation is the key to uniqueness.

I am constantly working on new material experiments. I have developed a new translucent layered porcelain material which is suitable for forming delightfully detailed decorations. I also use a special mixture of paper and porcelain: the structure of the paper is visible and produces patterns and ornaments on the porcelain.

It is really important to me that my items are handmade, and I try to design in a way that allows me to modify an object at as many points and stages as possible. Still, there are some workflows where the need for precision requires me to use digital technologies such as 3D printing or laser cutting.
