PROFILE
Creative character, in love with simplicity. I entered in contact with ceramics thanks to the ceramic artist Aude Martin, ever since I have not stopped learning and creating with my hands and with the wheel.
I am interested in the ceramical proceses, the clay internaly, why things happen and how to make them happen. The fire in the process how it can change everything, all the possibilities it can create. Firing is the great mistery that every piece hides.
