When you have clay in your hands, it's hard to avoid making birds.

My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye.

My work is very bodily. It's not a shell, but a body.

I am a maker of useful things.

Beautiful things make people happy.

Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.

When I met my designs in the market of a remote village in the West Indies, or in the airport restaurant in Zurich, I felt like the mother of many well-behaved children.
