Since 2005, I’ve been exploring the creative possibilities of clay. As a self-taught ceramic artist, I enjoy working intuitively, allowing each piece to find its own shape and character. I never make the same piece twice—every object is one of a kind.
Since 2015, I’ve been teaching ceramics to beginners and experienced makers at various ceramic studios, helping others discover the joy of working with clay.

POTTERY – INTERMEDIATE
FULL
A tornado sweeps through the vessel, inspiring this series. Each piece is thrown using various coloured clays. During the throwing process, a unique spiral pattern naturally emerges, resembling the swirling motion of a storm. The final result, however, only becomes visible after the piece is carefully trimmed and refined.
Double walled thrown pieces consist as the name suggest out of two walls instead of one. This technique is not used much in pottery because it has limited use in use-ware like cups and vases. However it has given me a new perception in designing my pieces. They are thrown in one piece on the potter’s wheel without any assembly.
Torn and fractured, each vessel carries the memory of its making. Pressure leave their traces across the surface. Every curve holds intention, every imperfection a quiet record. With each revolution, new tensions emerge, and fine cracks appear, revealing not weakness, but an story of transformation and endurance.
My latest design: a vessel with a perfectly curved profile that appears to float effortlessly. The rims are folded inward, adding a sense of movement and futurism. Made from white stoneware, the exterior is unglazed and polished smooth, while the inside features a vibrant, glossy royal blue glaze. Find it under “Orb” in my shop.
