Having been involved in ceramics for over 20 years (starting in 1998), I still don't know this material in depth. There is so much to learn, because technology is constantly developing. I have been particularly interested in form and techniques with clay. Specifically with clay, not so much with glazes. In my master's thesis (2013), I studied old techniques with colored masses, such as nerikomi, sgraffito, Mishima, etc. I am happy that I earned the maximum result with my master's thesis in ceramics and now (starting in 2015) I have the opportunity to teach at the university myself. In my work, I often use casting and stuffing molds. The challenge is when my so-called "mother model" is complex enough to take the mold from. I like experimenting with clay. I also received recognition for this from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2002.
I am a member of the Estonian Ceramists' Union (starting in 2004) and a member of the board since spring 2021. At least once or twice a year I participate in some ceramics exhibition. Exciting exhibition tours have been to Finland (2006), Denmark (2014) and China (2017).
