art rooted in living
from earth to story
Welcome. I’m Diana Strinati Baur, artist, storyteller and potter creating bespoke stoneware from my studio in our 200-year-old Black Forest home. Over the last almost 30 years, I’ve crafted pieces intended to elevate everyday moments into extraordinary experiences.
My work extends beyond pottery to include mixed media art, historic home restoration and storytelling. I’m inspired by my passions for writing, gardening, cooking, wine and the breathtaking landscapes of my homes in southern Germany and northern Italy.
Each handcrafted piece of my work invites you to explore a love story, reflecting my personal creativity in every detail.
where passion meets practice
A life lived aligned with personal values and goals is the key to achieving contentment and joy. My work attempts to reflect the harmony between creativity, conscious living, and the natural world, inspiring individuals to embrace their unique journeys.
Through Substack, I share insights and stories that encourage self-discovery and authenticity. By infusing every aspect of life with intention and purpose, I aim to empower this community to create spaces and experiences that cutivate fulfilling lifestyles where passion meets practice.
Everything we do, every moment we live through, becomes part of the fabric of who we are. It isn’t merely the moments themselves, but what we make of them, that ultimately shapes the depth and breadth of our story. Our struggles, pain, fear, and uncertainty stand in contrast to our joy, achievements, laughter, and confidence, weaving together an intricate web that is uniquely our own. What we choose to do with this tapestry is up to us. When we infuse it with love, when we transform it into something lasting and meaningful, we step closer to fulfilling the deepest purpose of our lives.
Treat the planet like you want to be treated.
Handle it with care. Like your life depends on it. Because it does.
