What’s Possıble for the Better?
Hande Soap & Ceramics
The hand expresses what the heart already knows. Why do we try to form ourselves, to nature, to our faith, to our love?
When you give the passion of the creative process with your hands, you will understand that your heart knows when you are free from formality. You feel the pleasure of being original and the passion of the creative process. That is why and how I started making ceramics and soaps.
Mindfulness & Healing
All my file, I have been a truly considerate person, always mindful of the needs of others. Throughout time, in many occasions, I found myself helping people just by talking. My ability to empathize with people made me dive into others’ worlds without being a part of it, resulting in relief and solutions to their problems. Today, I am cognizant of how my own rhythm and frequency flow into my friends whom I help.
Hello
I’m Hande, I believe…
Believe in your dreams. Believe in today. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. Believe we can build a better world. Believe when others might not. Believe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Believe that you might be that light for someone else. Believe that the best is yet to be. Believe in each other. Believe in yourself. I believe in you.
My World
What Makes Me Happy
Ceramics
Making pottery is a personal meditation for me. I get lost in the feeling of my hands on the clay. Shaping the soil, finishing the surface of a just-dry piece, painting on glaze, unloading a kiln or recycling old clay – every part of the process is so magical for me. I feel relaxed and free of all my worries and thoughts while I am working with ceramics. My work of ceramics reveal my passion for nature, simplicity of forms, the way I see objects and my wish to be within the apparent randomness of the universe. I never tried to label my pottery with any word but if I was to, it should be “nature”. Pottery is an incredible escape from “real life” for me and the moment to be the part of magical nature.
Soaps
The soaps that I make with my hands and with natural ingredients, reflect one of the most significant cultural symbols of Mediterranean and Turkish tradition. Olive oil based soaps date back to ancient times but it was Turkish bath culture that spreaded the olive oil soap all around the world. I follow my ancestors’ traditional recepies, yet put my creativity at work. My soaps are characterized by being one of the purest types of soap made by man, consisting of purely natural elements. Hande Soap’s main ingredient is edible olive oil. All other ingredients are also natural, mostly everyday materials that you touch. My soaps are eco friendly, cruelty free, vegan and all natural.
Mindfulness
Even as we go about our daily lives, we can notice the sensations of things, the food we eat, the air moving past the body as we walk, our thoughts that pass in our brains and emotions we feel. All this may sound very small, but it has huge power to interrupt the automated living mode we often engage day to day, and to give us new perspectives on life. Concentrating on these facts, I try to help people to be concious about their lives. They may go through difficulties in life but I work with them to see what lies behind the happening. When we become more aware of the present moment, we begin to experience afresh things that we have been taking for granted.
