Craft and Natural Beauty –
Courses and Personal Sales of Handmade Creations
Welcome to the creative side of my business, where nature and the diversity of craftsmanship are at the heart of what I do. With a deep love for the forest and garden—where I spend much of my time when I’m not working as a consultant—I create handmade pieces inspired by the seasons and the changing expressions of nature.
My creative passion includes wreaths made from natural materials, with special collections for each season. Each wreath carries the scent and colors of the forest, using everything from moss and branches to berries and pinecones, creating an authentic and unique feel. I also work with wool, a material I greatly appreciate for its warmth and versatility. Through felting, needle-felting, and peg-loom weaving, I create everything from decorations to functional items that convey a sense of natural beauty.
In the summer, my creations take on a more robust character as I work with concrete. Using both molds and freeform shaping, I let the material’s strength and simplicity speak, resulting in personal pieces suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
I also offer paper flowers and postcards adorned with carefully dried plants, for those who want a sustainable and poetic touch in their home or a thoughtful gift. For those who want to explore their own creativity, I offer courses where we delve into these materials and techniques together—from natural materials and wool to concrete—and learn to create using both traditional and innovative methods.
My goal is for every creation and course to convey a sense of calm, beauty, and respect for nature—a passion I am eager to share with others.
