Adventures in Clay
My fascination for ceramics sprouted a few years back. It all started when I joined a pottery workshop at my nearby studio. From the first instance I felt the cool, smooth clay in my hands, I was enthralled.
Something about the process of shaping something beautiful and useful from such a humble substance that utterly fascinates me. I love the feeling of making something with my own hands.
My journey encompasses endless exploration. I'm constantly learning new techniques and testing my creative boundaries. I work in a variety of styles, from traditional hand-building to the allure of the potter's wheel.
Each piece I create shares a part of me, my experiences, and my creativity.
My aim is that my ceramic creations will bring a touch of beauty and art to people's lives.
