About Me

       

With a degree in Alternative Pedagogy, specializing in Fine Arts, I have had the privilege of working with children in Rudolf Steiner alternative education for the past 20 years.

Between 2003 and 2005, I lived in Geneva, where I coordinated the SEMO Art Workshop—part of a Red Cross program dedicated to young people transitioning from rehabilitation.

Traveling, listening to people’s life stories, and especially working with children and disadvantaged communities have been a constant source of inspiration for me.

My specialization in clay work began as a therapeutic practice, following my studies in biographical counseling, where I initially worked with wax, polymer clay (Fimo), and traditional clay. This journey continued with apprenticeships at a workshop in Barnsley, England.

Further refining my skills, I had the opportunity to learn new techniques with Ahmed Eid and his colleagues at Foustat Ceramics in Cairo.

Later I have specialized in ceramic jewelry that is meticulously handcrafted and hand-painted with precious gold, undergoing an intricate and time-intensive process to achieve its exceptional quality.

My love for people of all ages convinced me to establish workshops in my own atelier, and is an activity where I extract a lot of joy as I make new frieds across the globe.
