I fell passionately in love with clay in the late sixties and have been teaching pottery for 40 years in my fully equipped home studio in Kramersdorf, Swakopmund. I love teaching pottery passing on the all-encompassing skills and sharing in the joy that this fascinating craft brings. My pottery classes are ongoing throughout the year from February to December. My studio accommodates small groups of adults, from raw beginners to the most experienced, all receiving my personal attention.
Being a dedicated member of the Potters‘ Association of Namibia since 1988, serving as the chairperson for a few years, has been the most valuable asset in my personal growth as a potter. I have attended many of PAN‘s practical workshops and entered my work to most of their annual and biannual exhibitions, receiving various awards on the way.
All aspects of pottery-making fascinate me and my work ranges from delicate tableware to robust hand-built stoneware sculptures and Raku fired decorative ware. I particularly enjoy the focus and discipline needed for throwing functional ware on an electric wheel and especially love making bowls. In contrast, the slower meditative hand-building techniques allow me much more freedom for expression and for construction of large items. Inspiration for my work is sourced from life, nature and events around me.
