When you touch the mud you touch your soul
About
I was born in Izmit in 1981. After graduating from Bilkent University's Department of Banking and Finance, I worked in various sectors for many years. Later, I worked in our family business, in the cosmetics sector.
Over time, I felt the need to listen to my inner voice and live at a slower pace. After becoming a mother, this inner transformation led me to ceramics. This journey, which began during the pandemic, quickly became much more than a curiosity; it became a form of expression, a space of existence for me.
I improved myself by receiving training in different workshops and after completing my certificate to open a ceramic workshop approved by the Ministry of National Education, I established Fem Ceramic Atelier in Istanbul in 2022.
My Understanding of Art
For me, ceramics are a silent dialogue with the earth. Each form is nourished by the simplicity of nature, the serenity of the moment, and the search for inner balance. When I touch clay, the flow of time slows; thoughts, breath, and matter merge in the same rhythm.
I prefer simple yet powerful forms in my work. I strive to reflect the simple beauty of nature in the surfaces I create with earthy and nude tones. Each piece carries an inherent quest for balance and a quiet expression.
Fem Ceramic Atelier is both a creative and sharing space for this journey. I find great joy in creating my own works here while also sharing the transformative power of ceramics with others.
For me, ceramics is more than just an art; it is a way to get closer to yourself, stay in the moment and simplify.
