About

I am a Hungarian potter and teacher of 30 years, with my personal practice in my contemporary studio in Dorset.

Over many years, I have led pottery and ceramics sessions for adults with learning disabilities and autism – creating high-quality pieces through collaboration and teamwork. 

Through this and my external experiences of teaching, I have seen first-hand the transformations in confidence and self-esteem that working with clay brings to the maker. The joy that comes with creating a beautiful finished piece is something that never grows old.

I have found that the tactile and malleable nature of clay creates many possibilities of self-expression. Working with clay can be a transformative experience, connecting us to the earth and the elements around us.

It is my strong belief that every individual should have the opportunity to engage with work and creative play that is purposeful and considered, resulting in beautiful, handcrafted pieces.

The Experience of Working with Clay

The art of centering brings you at one with yourself, grounding into your being and deepening into a flow state; a unity with all the senses.

Disconnecting from the world around, working with clay connects us instead to our primal, tactile selves, able to find the inner quiet; the world within. 

There is duality in working with clay.

Materials that are created by millions of years of elemental change, in the maker’s hand can become something new, building a relationship with materials that may have once lined the earth we walk upon.

This practice, one of malleability and transformation, seeks balance between control and unpredictability, clay transcending the expectations we put upon the materials.

We can learn from this process, taking its lessons into everyday life. 

And of course, there is joy. Creating is joy:

“To be absolutely free to create without fear or formula heartens the soul and opens a path to the joy of living”

— Cesar Manrique
