In 2013, after years of working as an Architect, Visual Artist and Artisan Chocolatier, I decided
to go back to university, only this time to pursue a career in Ceramics and Pottery.
I have been making these handmade ceramics since then. The designs are highly
inspired from my Persian background and include a lot of traditional ancient symbols and
motifs. Often times these motifs are mixed with more modern elements creating a new contemporary
perspective on an ancient culture.
From the beginning stages of splitting the clay, to applying each motif onto it, firing in the kiln,
individually formulating the glazing and its application, and the final re-firing, each piece is
completely unique and tells a different story.
I truly hope that each of these pieces manages to bring the passion behind the making of
them to the final home they will be placed in.
