Why Pottery?
From an early age, I discovered my passion for creating, crafting everything from tables to toys.
After a year of studying languages at university, I realized my true happiness lay in the arts.
I pursued an apprenticeship in pottery, where my dedication earned me the title of best national apprentice in Germany.
Driven by curiosity, I embraced the German tradition of journeymanship, traveling for over three years to deepen my craft and connect with diverse cultures and people... always accompanied by my best pal- Runa, the dog!

Why the Isle of Skye?
After travelling for nearly four years the longing for a more permanent base was strong.
I was offered a job as a potter in the north of the island, where I worked for two years.
After that time it seemed natural to develop my own work and luck would have it that my partner Andy and I found a pottery workshop for sale in the "Garden of Skye", Sleat.
The house and studio are old and quirky and needed a LOT of work. It is still an ongoing project, but it is home now.
Heartbreakingly, my wonderful companion Runa-dog is no longer with us, but I have a new furry friend in my life, who is amazing!
She is still learning to trust life and humans and has already taught me so much! (All I am saying is: you think pottery requires patience? Well, gaining the trust of a traumatized animal takes it to a different level!)
