About me

My name is Elisa; I am a woman, a mum, a daughter, a friend and a wife… and a passionate ceramicist.

I am happily married and I am the proud mum of three children. Both my husband and I are Italian (I am also half Dutch).

I started working with clay during a difficult time in my life back in 2014. As soon as I was introduced in ceramics, I got immediately hooked. Clay and the potters wheel quickly became my go-to activity when I am in need of some me-time and stress relief.. Working with clay makes me feel connected to myself and centered.

I obtained my degree in ceramics after 5 years of education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lier, Belgium, whereafter I followed numerous classes with multiple artists and teachers amongst others at La Meridiana, Florence, Italy and the Ceramics Materials Workshop (USA).

In 2020 my family and I have moved to Ireland where I have constituted Elisa Ceramics Art (sorry for the absence of originality of the name!) and where I had the opportunity to develop my hobby into a successful and rewarding full time activity.

Since September 2023 I am back to a regular full time employment but I am using clay still as a manner to self regulate and relax. I am passionate about keeping the creative community alive and welcome people for a fun relaxing day out, a bonding activity or a rewarding new hobby.
