Homa Farley
Rolling Stone Challenge
Homa Farley, potter extraordinaire, has always been an artist, dappling with various forms of art before finding her true passion in working with clay. Having grown up with a talented, well-known artist for a brother, she has always been encouraged to be creative. As a teenager she travelled from her hometown of Iran to England to learn English and Ceramics design. After travelling the world with her husband, a British gentleman she had met in Iran, they settled down in UAE where she was introduced to pottery by a Malaysian artist twenty years ago. On a sunny Sunday morning, she sits down among the beautiful pots she has created, laughing with her students and giving them the occasional tip on how to improve their work, and telling us her story.
