When
did you start creating and how long have you been on Etsy?
I remember being creative since I was
small but I have been fully employed in ceramics since last summer.
I opened my Etsy shop last February
Apart
from creating things, what do you like to do?
I love poetry, playing guitar, watching
the stars and hugging my cats
Where
do you get your inspiration from?
The inspiration comes as the workday
progresses. Nature inspires me, music and art.
How
did you get started in ceramics?
I studied ceramics before studying
design. My father is ceramist but he does work very different from mine.
How
would you describe your creative process?
My creative process is usually at night,
quite late, in silence and in bed. I take paper and pencil and start to mess
pages until I get something I really like. I love the moment when everything seems
to fit and appears it that was asleep inside your brain like a solved puzzle.
What
is your most cherished handmade item?
I love tiles which my brother and I
painted when we were very young. I find them really beautiful and valuable
Where
do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years I want to be one of those
lucky people who feel really happy with the work she has done and the life she has.
Do
you have any advice for anyone thinking about starting their own shop?
I just started my shop so I have too much
advice to give. I only say that the only way to get what you want is to lose
all fear and take small steps that will make way. Slowly but surely.
