Born in Spain, Farah moved to South Africa in 2004 where she started learning the basic techniques
\nof pottery. After a couple years with informal lessons from various Cape Town potters she rented
\nout a space at John Bauer\u2019s studio. Soon she became fascinated with porcelain and started\"Farah<\/a>
\nexperimenting with this medium on her own.<\/p>\n

It was only in mid 2011, after working in various creative fields, that she finally established her own
\nstudio. Since then, Farah has developed a unique style that is elegant and delicate yet contemporary
\nand light hearted.<\/p>\n

In her current work, she uses porcelain as a canvas, creating once-off pieces where the emphasis
\nis placed on the illustration work. Leaving the shapes simple and clean, she creates intricate hand
\npainted designs following patterns that evolve into shapes and landscapes.<\/p>\n

Her work also plays with fine textures, partly glazing her pieces and treating the rest of the surface
\nwith soft sandpaper for a smooth yet raw feel.<\/p>\n

Staying true to the porcelain tradition of \u2018blue on white\u2019, her entire 2012-2013 collection is done
\nusing blue as her only colour, but she reinterprets this classic with her use of patterned designs
\nand \u2018doodle\u2019 like drawings.<\/p>\n

Her pieces are mostly functional and they range from paper thin vases and framed porcelain
\nillustrations to hanging and wall planters were she combines her three loves: illustration, porcelain
\nand plants.\u00a0 All pieces are commissioned based.<\/p>\n
