This August was a special one; together with my friend Suus, I traveled to Morning Flory Flowers at Martha's Vineyard, USA to teach animal vase workshops. Doing my usual pottery thing, except other side of the world, on an island, in the middle of a flower field, with a clay I never used before. It was all as adventurous as it sounds and very much worth the effort. A trip to remember ❤️
I used to love magnets way before I started working with ceramics. So I love being able to make my own now. I usually make them when I need a break from bigger clay projects. It's a fun, light and inviting way to try new things and practice my painting skills.
Hi everyone! I wanted to share some more background about my work; some (technical) nice-to-nows about how I create my pieces. I figured the best way to do this is to get into the questions that I get asked the most.
So here it goes: seven answers to seven frequently askes questions. I hope it helps / inspires some of you out there!
For the last weeks Wonky Vases have been keeping me busy. My tall, funny looking characters that are always a favorite to make. I recently decided to create a big new collection of them, which got me thinking about how they have been an important part of many of my previous collections. About how they have changed over the years and how it has been 8 years since I built my first tall vase (really? Where did the time go??)
