When my students could no longer attend in-person classes during Covid, I started creating videos so they could continue practising from home. As the videos gained popularity, people from around the world began reaching out. This led to online lessons, a dedicated learning platform and a growing online community.

Teaching has made my practice more disciplined and focused. Balancing education with production requires careful planning, so I dedicate specific time to designing and creating collections for my studio, clients and exhibitions. Over the years, I have also built a small team that supports me in the studio, allowing me to maintain both the creative and educational sides of my work.

The craft of ceramics is already living its future. Once considered a minor art form, it is now recognised both as a craft and as a medium for contemporary art. Ceramics are increasingly present in major exhibitions and cultural events, reflecting the growing appreciation they have gained over the past decade.
