Hi, my name is Iris and I've been a ceramist for 20 years. I fell in love with clay when I enrolled my daughter to a ceramic class in London.
When I saw the space with all the materials and pots, clay and glazes I couldn't leave the space and start studying myself.
It all came very naturally to me; I just knew what to do as though I had always been a potter.
Before that I studied art and alternative therapies but since I discovered clay it has become my world. Our family moved around quite a bit so I studied in London ,Barcelona and Israel. I Love to make smoke fired and Raku pieces and also table ware.
Each piece is unique and no two are the same. I hand build my pieces and never use the wheel. It's a bit difficult for me to part from my work because there won't be the same one again. The piece you'll have is one of a kind and only you will have it.
I've exhibited in galleries and museums and also had solo exhibitions.
My work is made with a lot of love and is destined to those who appreciate uniqueness and art.
