Winter… is a slow season is for turning inward is for being still, for reflecting and resting. Winter … is for looking forward to the first snowdrops is for wearing comfortable warm woollen cardigans is for noticing the small daily gifts. But how can we try to “keeping winter”? I have to admit I love…
I hope you all had a good start of the new year! On these first days of January it’s all quiet and calm here. The Christmas holidays are over and I’m back at work in my studio and preparing the last creations before firing the kiln. In the mean time I’m daydreaming a little about…
I would like to share some thoughts on the need for beauty and creativity in our lives, as I believe they’re inseparably connected to each other. And I also believe they are both much needed in this world and yet not highly valued! I don’t know how it is for you, but to get creative,…

Surrounded by a blooming garden and wild nature, I’ve tried to capture its beauty in porcelain. Under these glass domes with miniature porcelain wild flowers, plants and mushrooms one can take a closer look to the amazing details of nature. All the flowers, stems and details are hand modelled in porcelain. Porcelain’s preciousness, fragility, strength…
