Everything comes from the earth…

Uglyduckly Ceramics are all handmade, and each piece has its own little soul.

The shapes and materials shift from time to time…I’m constantly inspired by the world around me: nature, feelings, and the magic of rediscovering old things in new ways.

Clay is my grounding element…it’s how I stay connected to the earth in my everyday life.

My studio is in Hamburg-Billbrook, an industrial area that’s surprisingly green and the Elbe River just around the corner.

I’ve also been growing a small garden paradise there over the years.

If you’d like to visit the studio, feel free to drop me a message…I’d love to hear from you!
