Student Journeys: From Kuwait to Switzerland

At Aura Pottery, creativity knows no borders. Each artist brings their unique story, inspiration, and perspective to the table, weaving a rich tapestry of global influences. Meet Sophie and Cecilia, two creatives who found a haven for their art in the serene surroundings of Aura.

Sophie’s Macramé-Inspired Journey

From Kuwait, Sophie’s artistic roots lie in her love for textiles and macramé. During her time at Aura, she translated her passion into clay, creating intricately textured pots inspired by her macramé designs. Sophie found joy in the studio and bonded with Aura’s furry companions, who often provided a calming presence as she worked.

“I came to Aura to explore pottery, but I left with so much more—a deeper connection to my creativity and the peace I was searching for.”

Cecilia’s Swiss-Alpine Inspirations

Visiting from Switzerland, Cecilia’s short retreat at Aura was equally impactful. Drawing from her alpine homeland, she experimented with sgraffito techniques, carving delicate patterns of mountains and snowflakes into her pottery. Her precise yet bold designs captured the essence of her Swiss roots in a way she never imagined.

“Aura’s freedom to create in a supportive environment was exactly what I needed to rekindle my artistic spark.”Ready to embark on your creative journey?
