Talia has been working with ceramics for the past 18 years focusing mostly on hand building.

After attending several courses both locally and abroad, and realising that she could express herself so freely in this medium, she decided to take pottery more seriously and set up her own studio in her home.

Working with different clays, earthenware, stoneware and lately porcelain, allows her to experiment with a variety of glazes. Talia often partly glazes her pieces as she likes the rough texture of the clay against the smooth glazes.

Although her work covers a variety of subjects, most of her 'one off' pieces often reflect feelings from a situation at that moment in her life.

What inspires Talia mostly is the coastal waters around Malta and Gozo, the rock formation and colours both above and below the sea.

Over the years she has taken part in several exhibitions.

Private tuition classes for both adults and children, are currently being held in her studio at home.
