On 12 and 13 June, the Potters' Association of Namibia hosted From Noise to Voice, a workshop led by potter and artist Betsie van Rensburg.

Designed as an exploration of the subconscious through symbols, the workshop invited participants to reflect on the stories, instincts, and personal imagery that inform their creative practice. Through discussion, observation, and making, Betsie encouraged participants to delve deeper into what makes them tick — not only as individuals, but ultimately as artists.

These images capture moments from that journey: thoughtful, exploratory, and deeply personal encounters with creativity, clay, and self-discovery.
