Porcelain.
I stretch it, paint it, fold it, going to the limits of its strength, fragility and transparency.
It often leaves me in desperation because of its fragility.
It often leaves me in desperation because of its fragility.
It leaves me breathless with the feeling of happiness to see its fragile intensity.

pinched bowls
Bowls made from stoneware.
As I often use stoneware to make the forms in wich I fire my larger porcelain bowls, that would slump otherwise, sometimes I like to transform it into forms that stand on their own...; like these three bowls. They have a paperlike pattern on the outside and a velvet light-turquoise glaze within.h. 5 cm. - 17 cm.

some inspirations
Dreaming of spring..or just wanting to make pictures,
while everything outside is grey and misty and cold...?
I tried to capture the soft silken texture of the petals..
a soft shine I could wish as a porcelain glaze...
Usually I put my pictures here or here,
but it is nice to mix everything up sometimes
I'm always curious to see new results,
new possibilities; and then,
sometimes unexpectedly,
patterns emerge!

'lanterns'; a necklace..or 'just' lanterns?
As there is now, since some time, also a site
where my ceramic work is shown, this blog is
quietly changing ; a place to post not only my
ceramic works, but something more of my
world; my inspirations and daily found
poetry; like these images of the most exquisite
little lanterns I found in my garden...

cushion brooch
Without my kiln, for a while, finally I mounted some of the smaller pieces, that I keep 'collecting'; my trials and errors and my color- and form tests, these test pieces somehow manage to start a life of their own as jewelery pieces or sometimes as little animals. Maybe because I find it really difficult to throw anything away.. (one never knows if they could turn into something...) and because these small scale trials inspire and keep me going... If they turn out interesting, I try to find out other possibilities. The cushions brooches I have been making for a while, have three layers of thin porcelain, the bottom layers are closed, so in baking they 'rise' nicely!. (I just made an appletart for Sanne's birthday, so this phrase is in style..) and the third layer has holes for the 'pins' and pearls and the stitching.
