My first memory of clay is from early childhood in Sweden, shaping blue clay from an ancient lake.
Years later, I took my first wheel-throwing class in New York City and was hooked right away. My first ceramics teacher, Rachel encouraged me to embrace mistakes, a mindset that still guides me.
After a long hiatus, I found my way back to clay. In June 2026, I earned a ceramics certification at Glendale Community College, studying with excellent professors such as Gerardo Monterrubio and Robert Kipler among others.
I’m drawn to the simplicity and function of Scandinavian and Japanese design, and I think of wheel-throwing as a meditative practice, one where the making matters most. Whenever I can, I return to the wheel, where it all began.
