About me


Hello gorgeous !

I am Eli, a positive and cheerful woman that loves life. I have lived in Zurich for ten years now and can fully live out my creative nature as well as my flair for aesthetics here. Whether it's pottery, painting, photography or fashion, creative activities are vital for me to feel fulfilled. For me, creativeness reveals itself in everything that surrounds us: It is the clothes we wear, as well as our very own handwriting. But in pottery, everything comes together: all the different shapes, colours, imagination and the creation of something beautiful. For me, pottery is a dance with my hands. And the essence of beauty I create makes me happy. It awakens in me the need to share this beauty with those around me and inspire people.

When I'm not in my atelier listening to loud music and letting my imagination run wild, I work in event management at the Cantonal Bank of Zurich. It's the perfect equivalent, detached from the banking industry, to pursue my creative spirit and passion for bringing people together. As a volunteer I support the organization Buy Food with Plastic by organizing all kind of events. But nevertheless, for a long time, I was looking for a project where I can entirely run free. With collecting shells, a dream comes true. I can cover everything that slumbers inside me and it all comes into place. Making beautiful and unique creations, using different colours and shapes to inspire people and share with them the love for beauty.

A big thank you to Anna Herbst with her label annascreativefactory who texted the beautiful words on my website. Thank you to another beautiful soul Anina Weidmann who took lovely photos of the shells and me and designed the logo. They are pure inspiration and supported me with their passion, creativity and positivity. 
THANK YOU!
