My work falls at the crossroads of my dreams and the natural world around us. I like to see it as a timeless storybook, each piece being a chapter of a tale or a story in itself.
I like creating textures with organic tools I found on my way, like shells, linen threads, lichens, pebbles...and combine glazes and oxides to create colours and effects. Then the design of each piece is totally distictive.
I studied ceramics in London, at the Putney School of Art and Design. During those 2 years, I learnt an extensive range of techniques but in the end, I fell in love with the wheel.
To take my work further, I joined The Kiln Rooms, an open studio in south London, a place of work for a community of potters and artists. It was a tremendous source of inspiration and opportunities so I spent 3 years there, experimenting and perfecting my technique, developing my style.
Life took me from London to Santiago Chile, where I carried my tools and was lucky to join the studio Barro Gres. This created amazing opportunities of exchanges and experiments, an insight into Chilean contemporary ceramics.
Back in London, I’m currently working at The Clay Garden, a beautiful open studio in Hammersmith where I can carry on my work, exploring new designs, mixing throwing and handbuilding, new elements and colors combinations.
