  We are a family of 4. My husband is american and runs a wine business. We have two kids 23 and 20, both now studying elsewhere. I am Swiss, trained as a nurse. I started pottery 20 years ago and worked in the US, Brazil and now Chile. I run my own business now. I have 17 students and work on my own projects. Altough we have worked and lived in many different countries and big cities we have settled in Talca and just love it!
