Growing up in the 80s meant something different than it does today: children were surrounded by reality, not a fictional world. Playtime didn't revolve around computers. Dexterity was not demonstrated through handling touchscreens. Instead, there were pearls and wooden blocks, clay and crayons, metal construction sets, and the new sensation from the West—Lego! We held these toys in high regard, and they provided a canvas for our creativity, allowing those who excelled early to shine within their peer group.

And why ceramics, you may ask? Clay embodies all the elements intensely: when working with it we deal with the earth, shaping it with our hands. Water is essential for creating the object, its presence helps bring the thoughts that arise within us into physical form. When it is completed, air dries it out, and fire ensures its durability - the future. The possibility to transform clay means millions of years of honor.

From Eszter's hands come both functional and decorative objects, ceramic pictures, and jewelry. She has an experimental nature, often trying out new shapes and colors, pushing the boundaries of techniques and styles. She enjoys combining her ceramics with other materials: for instance, the atmosphere of her vessels fused with tree roots is utterly enchanting.

From a very young age, Eszter was fascinated by colors and shapes, drawn to nature and enchanted with everything related to beauty and creation. However, as real life often unfolded for most artistically inclined young people around the time of the regime change, she also found herself in the rational, money-making world. Her desire for ceramics and the shaping of materials lived on as a hobby. This attraction, like a hidden stream, waited for the right moment to come to surface, which came after the birth of her children. She found her mentor in the ceramist László Illés, devoted time to practice and development, and even obtained a specialized qualification.

Humbleness is required to understand what the elements of nature permit so that we can shape the small pieces into our own forms. Clay teaches patience and reveals tranquility: as long as we cannot exclude the hurried noise of our bustling world from the creative process, the ancient forces will repeatedly demonstrate their superiority in the laws of nature.
