About Hilde: I have my roots deep in the art of pottery. I grew up in an area of Germany where pottery has a long standing tradition and in a family of potters who fueled my early interest in working with clay. My designs are my own unique creations. Early in my professional development I started to make my own brushes, which led me to the brush strokes on much of my work.
