My love affair with ceramics began by chance, when I took my daughter to a trial lesson at a pottery studio that had just opened across from our house. While chatting with the teacher, she extended an invitation for me to try adult classes.
At first, my creations were far from perfect, but I discovered that this wasn't the point. Working with clay brought me a sense of calmness and a unique energy. I began to believe in the myth that clay absorbs negative thoughts.
As I delved deeper into the world of ceramics, I hopped from studio to studio across Tel Aviv. Sometimes I lingered for years, sometimes for months, and sometimes for just a few sessions. I learned from various masters, absorbing everything I could. For me, the process of creating from clay is a complete immersion into a meditative state, where one surrenders entirely to creativity.
From a lump of clay, you can create a vase, a cup, a plate – and therein lies the captivating joy that engulfs us completely. Thus began my journey of discovery and love for ceramics.
