Meet Dorine.

"Working with clay, I am in a happy place,

where ever I am!"

​

Having moved countries several times Dorine wants her work, like her life, to be without boundaries. Breaking away from traditions and ‘rules’, and working without limits, enables Dorine to create shapes and forms that seem to have always lived in her soul.
 
A career shift from children’s books to ceramics, shares story telling as the focal point in both passions.  The tranquillity of clay awoke Dorine’s awareness of the world  around her and drives her creativity. While she translates and reshapes observations in nature and in human connections, she tells her stories through clay, without imitating mother nature.
 
Colour is important to Dorine. Her hand-built work is expressive, often using multiple layers of glazing. She enjoys experimenting with different combinations of clays and glazes.
