I studied art at home in Hungary, Eger where I spent my college years.
Eger is a historic baroque town. The rich architecture and decoration
had a big influence on me and probably on the way I decorate my work.
After university I moved to the UK and, having joined an evening class, it was then that I started making thrown pots.
The majority of my work is large functional and/or decorative stoneware
vessels. Most of these are thrown on a wheel but I experiment with
other techniques and materials too.
Shape is very important but also
I put a lot of emphasis on decoration. On the slip decorated pieces I
use slip-resist and sgraffito techniques and underglaze brush lines. On
some of my other vessels the unglazed slip surface stands in
strong contrast with the glazed surface.
