When you have clay in your hands, it's hard to avoid making birds.
My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.
I think with my hands. I design things to be touched-not for a museum. A piece is ready when it has the shape of something to cherish.
I made the things particularly because I wanted them to see the world.
The playful search for beauty.
I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets.
