What made you start doing pottery?
The clay itself! I was experimenting with clay during my studies at ZHdK and I litterally fell in love with this material. After this I started to attend several pottery courses on the wheel and I ended up doing a two-month ceramic course in Tuscany, Italy.

A person who inspires you?
