Edna Piorko
ceramic sculpting
I was born and raised in a hard working family
at the north district of Israel. I grew up thinking
responsibly and productively about how should
live my life and become a responsible and an
independent adult. So I went to the University
of Haifa, graduated and earned my masters in
social work and then, for 20 years, I worked as
a social worker in men’s prison.
In time I felt I needed a change, having a
strong urge for creation. Then, I happened to be
in my son’s sculpture class. From the moment
my hands met clay, a special love story began.
Creating in clay leads me to inner peace, and
unspeakable happiness and joy.
