ABOUT ME
I discovered the magic of clay the first time at the age of 8, and all its therapeutic powers that it unfolds. In my late twenties I was lucky to return to clay with my studies at Front Range Community College in Colorado,USA. I immediately fell in love with clay again, and all the struggles and calm it provokes. At Metropolitan State University of Denver, Colorado I continued my ceramic studies and received my Fine Arts Degree specializing in Ceramics and Art Therapy. With my Teacher”s Degree I was able to teach at Yangon International School in Myanmar, which allowed my amazing travels in Asia and viewing ceramics from Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia and many more places. I am so excited to be part of the Imibala team in Somerset West and ready to share all my experiences and knowledge and to resettle in Sunny South Africa.
