hi, i'm vera, a young potter based in amsterdam. 

i started putting my hands in clay somewhere during the pandemic. actively trying to heal from burnout and ptsd, i was desperate for a creative outlet.

ceramics, for me, is that one thing where you can completely lose yourself in for hours. throwing pots can be very meditative, and many times i totally forget my surroundings when i've got my hands in the clay. it's allowed me to let my mind wander, to express emotions i can't find the words for and, maybe most importantly, to have fun without reserve. 

my current work, temperance, is a collection of work about beliefs and revelations, patterns and renunciation. about the strive for balance, the cost of tranquility, the scars of composure.
