Drawn to clay since childhood, Karin found pottery a haven from corporate stress. Now, a self-proclaimed "potter," she's hooked on the tactile joy of shaping clay. Primitive forms, Miro's art, fabric artistry, and Scandinavian lines inspire her unique creations. While she crafts diverse containers, bottles, spouted forms, and coil-built bowls hold her heart. Using coil and slab building, she finds peace and endless fascination in the process. Her wish? That her pots bring delight to all who use them.
Born with an artistic spirit, Sarah paints introspective abstracts. Her work blends structured elements with vibrant chaos, mirroring her inner journey. Explore geometric forms, vibrant palettes & tranquil movement - a catharsis on canvas.
