Anna Moszczenska fell in love with clay when she took a pottery course a few years ago. From then on Anna loved working with clay. For her working with clay is like an unintentional process, and Anna has learned to accept it as an instinctive method. Ann is drawn to abstraction as a way to uncover and express her feelings and emotions. Anna expresses herself by creating different forms and shapes using a different clay body and applying colourful slips. Anna is inspired by abstract and surrealistic paintings. She works primarily by making coiled vessels and slab work.
