THROWING CLASSES

Especially for people who want to work on the potters wheel during the weekly classes, I have created a series of throwing classes. Drop me a line to check availability.

NEW: OPEN STUDIO TIME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS

Especially for those who participate in one of the courses: Open workshop every Friday afternoon 1 - 4 p.m. Application during weekly lessons.

SKETCHING

During my weekly classes I tend to put a lot of emphasis to the design process. This may sound a bit complicated, but it always pays off and it's great fun to imagine and draw your new art object before putting your hands in clay.

CERAMICS & CULTURE

Delft Blue and earthenware from Makkum, we owe a big part of our worldwide fame to our ceramics history. And in Fez, Morocco, men and women have been making colourful earthenware for centuries. Mexico, Japan, China... all nations with a rich ceramic history, with their specific traditions, firing techniques and shapes and colours. Be inspired by the websites I listed in my Favorites.

DEVELOPING

It's not entirely thought through yet, but the plan is to have 'theme-projects'. For instance a series of classes 'Porcelain Objects' which involves the Dutch history of porcelain as well as working with different kinds of porcelain. Or more technical subjects, like 'Working with ceramic transfers',
‘Garden projects’, and so on.
Keep coming back!
