About Duru
Making slowly, writing honestly
I am an independent maker working across ceramics, textiles, and personal writing. I like keeping the work and the things I am curious about in the same place.
Studio background
Learning at the studio table
My practice started with small experiments in clay and thread, kept on a kitchen table and then a corner of a room. Over time those trials became a steady studio habit, shaped by whatever materials I could get my hands on and whatever I wanted to understand better.
Some projects are finished; others are still teaching me something. I keep the unfinished ones visible, because the learning curve is part of the work.

Approach
Slow craft and documented curiosity
I work slowly on purpose. Each new craft asks for patience, and I prefer to stay with a material long enough to notice how it changes under my hands. Hobbies have a place here too, documented alongside finished pieces so the process stays visible.
I write about what catches my attention, and I save the details I want to come back to. Keeping hobbies, finished work, and notes connected is how I make sense of what I am learning.
