Journal of Turkish Ceramic Federation, no 53, 2018

Could you please tell us about yourself?

I was born in Afyon in 1966. I graduated from Ege University, Faculty of

Engineering, Textile Department in 1988. While I have been continuing

my education, I started to work in the textile sector in 1986.

I left my profession in 2003 and found myself at Tüzüm Kızılcan Ceramic

Studio after two months. I experienced a highly important learning

process until I bought my first kiln in 2006. I am a self-taught ceramic

artist however I must say that Tüzüm Kızılcan Studio was an exclusive

studio and it was more than a university. I know for a fact that we all

benefited a great deal from this environment where theory and practice

juxtaposed, where everything from artistic perspective to creating

an exhibition was experienced and questioned.

As I mentioned above, I set up my own studio in 2006 and initiated my

first porcelain works. I went through a 6-7 month period, when I was

unable to create anything.
