Path and Inspiration
When I came to London in 2007, I brought with me lots of peculiar memories and small bits of nature collected during my travels around the world. The organic world is my first source of inspiration so these little treasures became my first tools when I started ceramic in 2013. I spent 2 years in Putney School of Art and Design and then worked in several studios in London, where my love for throwing and experimenting grew bigger. Today I work at the Clay Garden, in Hammersmith.Process and Practice
I'm primarily a thrower but I also like adding a hand building touch to my pieces. I've always preferred an organic finish. Years ago I realised that using a simple white or transparent glaze over different oxides allows a variety of ever changing and very natural colours. I also sometimes add slips, or more complex glazes, to create a tactile texture. Using organic elements, I engrave a pattern on the clay when it's still soft. I love the way the oxides ultimately reside into this texturing.
