Subtle notes and observations made around me
This was a time, a place, a moment where utility gradually became poetry.
Dust to form, form to dust
Clay teaches patience, clay teaches trust.
Shaping, creating – a timeless choice
Every squeeze, each pull, each curve, each hold
has a playful nod, a thoughtful pause.
I make objects with care to stay and hopefully for others to hold in their own way.
