About The Facilitator
A photographer and traveller, I now work with clay. I have found that it is a medium that demands presence,
patience, honesty, and touch.
Working with my hands connects me to the raw, living earth; every touch becomes an act of
listening, every form a quiet reflection. The rhythm of the wheel and the weight of the clay create
a meditative dialogue between movement and pause, thought and silence. Pottery teaches
patience… it cannot be rushed, only understood through time and touch. And in the final
encounter with fire, the work is transformed; from fragile earth becomes enduring form, a testament
to change and resilience. Each piece I create carries traces of that mindfulness, transforming
light, memory, and experience into tangible form. In clay, I find not just expression, but balance —
a return to simplicity, rhythm, and the beauty of making by hand.
Through clay, I rediscover what it means to create with both heart and hand – grounded,
imperfect yet beautiful , and deeply human.
