Doreen's work connects storytelling with clay, textiles, and plants. She explores how everyday objects become meaningful to us. Each piece brings together one-of-a-kind collage and functional design.
Doora ceramics are functional ceramics that tell stories and are infused with meaning by layering multiple materials - vintage laces, embroidery, plants or even packaging materials - on clay. Each texture brings its own meaning and history to the piece and thus connects the user with its story and past.
Doreen often work with customers directly. She will use your heirloom textiles (wedding dresses, grandmother's crochet, christening gowns etc.), meaningful plants (wedding bouquets, anniversary flowers, foliage from the places where something meaningful happened), seashells from favorite vacations - textures that are meaningful to you and remind you of someone or something special - and create dishes and decorations for you that will bring joy and memories into your everyday life. All of her work is food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe. She loves to tell your story in clay and make something truly special for you.
