I learned the basic skills of pottery in Holland and deepened my knowledge by learning from master ceramicists as I find it important to control those basic skills. It is a fact that you have to train and repeat the same movements over and over again, constantly questioning the result.

Every piece of work passes through my hands numerous times, from initial kneading, to shaping, decoration, and firing, before I present it to the world. This level of involvement creates a deep connection to each piece. For me, it provides a sense of calm and mindfulness in our fast-paced world.

Clay is a very cooperative material. Although the material has certain limitations, pushing these boundaries is sometimes interesting. Working with clay offers me infinite possibilities to express myself and create deeply personal objects that reflect my inner world.

The decision my partner and I made to establish our own ceramic studio and gallery in Germany was a pivotal moment in our lives. From that moment on, I have found a sense of peace and clarity to focus on this craft fully.
