I make my own tableware and my own kitchen tools. At 16, this conviction already defined me: creating everyday objects — the ones we use without thinking, yet that shape our routines and our surroundings. Instinctively, I was drawn to the creative process. The connection between clay, water, and my hands became a true symbiosis. Guided by the memory of repeated gestures, I shape each piece slowly, letting it come to life. Simplicity. Beauty. Intention.
An entrepreneur at heart, I love exploring new trends in cooking. I create simple, functional, and durable objects designed to inspire experimentation and spark the joy of cooking — even for the novice cook.
As a teacher and mentor, passionate about my craft for nearly 45 years, I share both knowledge and technique with enthusiasm and generosity. My deepest intention is to ensure the potter’s creative gesture lives on.
