Beste Ogan
As a designer-maker, I strive to create 'textures to touch' - intimate functional ceramic objects that make you not want to let go once you hold them; timeless designs that are a pleasure to use everyday. They celebrate 'the beauty of the imperfect', reflecting colours, textures and forms derived from nature.
My inspiration usually comes from natural materials and objects. I cherish the beauty of their organic, ‘imperfect’ forms, their honesty and unpretentious simplicity, and the tactility of their patina as they age. I always seek to capture that tactility and sensuality in my work that invites a person to touch and caress. Watching people engage with my work and their reaction as they touch it for the first time is my biggest reward.
