crafts

I´ve started experimenting with making judaica.

I am using either pottery or driftwood with diverse inlays and local stones.

I had the great honour to be introduced to pottery by my friend Chaim Grosser in Berlin, who is a master ceramist stemming from a long line of ceramist from Meissen. Chaim runs the  pottery studio Yad Chanah, open for all regardless age or religion. The name Yad Chanah means the hand of Hannah. That´s his mother who managed to survive the holocaust. The memories of her protection still protects Chaim now....
