In the forms she shapes on the wheel and by handbuilding, Giselle is inspired by the colors and light, and the rhythm of the ocean in her home country, Lima, Peru, and the constant movement of New York City where she's lived for over 30 years. As a teacher, she focuses on helping students build strong technical skills in a warm, relaxed environment. Find her on instagram at gisellereiterpottery.
