Hilda Merom was born in Argentina and immigrated to Israel in 1971. She has chosen to live in the Galilee, which is the northern part of Israel, a mountainous region with a mixed population of Arabs, Druze and Jews. Picturesque villages, Kibbutzim and community settlements nestle among the hills.

Hilda lives in Kfar Vradim, a community village with a breathtaking view. One can simultaneously observe the snow-capped Hermon Mountain in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

One could not wish for more inspiring surroundings or more suitable for mixing clay, throwing a pot, pit firing or saggar firing it in a gas kiln.
