OUR STORY & PHILOSOPHY

I was an architect in a former professional life, and I was always drawn to clay but managed to indulge my interest only a few years ago at the studio of my mentor, Madhur Sen.

​

I love  to create both –  sculpture as well as functional ware and experiment with various surface textures and colours in my work. I believe that while form is very important, its surface treatment in terms of colours, textures, glazes is equally so. 

​

The forms I favour are either rugged or fluid, with their surfaces usually being lightly to heavily textured. I attempt to harmonize form, texture and colour in my creations to achieve visual and tactile appeal. 

By profession I am a Language Translator and Trainer in German and Spanish. As a young student it was Panama where I first laid my hands on clay; I fell in love with it! However, it was only many years later, that my desire to work with clay was actually fulfilled, when I met my mentor, teacher, Madhur Sen. And now I like to speak the language of clay!

To me clay is a person, a friend with whom my relationship gets stronger day by day – a lifelong journey together. Clay in my hands is sometimes unyielding and stubborn and at times submissive and malleable. At times I am the master and at others it is mine. Indeed a lesson in humility! Eventually a little give and take, a push from one, a gentle nudge from the other and lo and behold we work as one.

That’s when Creation happens!
