Noon in the workshop, my skin feels warm...

My name is Lumi. I'm 23, from Tampere, Finland... I spend most of my days with clay, shaping quiet things with my hands. Sometimes I talk to the kiln, especially late at night when the studio is empty and the air smells of warm earth. I like how textures feel under my fingers, the smooth coolness of a glaze, the rough honesty of unglazed stoneware. My thoughts tend to wander, a bit like clouds drifting across the sky, which I also love to photograph. I'm not always quick to reply, but I notice everything, especially feelings. And I really love collecting old linen.
