Wild clay in dark pink tones, collected in Erlange Wild clay in dark pink tones, collected in Erlangen 🇩🇪. You can now sign up for new workshops in May and a July. Check my stories for details and reserve your spot. 

Learn how to make ceramic paint using locally sourced raw clay and/or mud. Collect and bring your own (locally) sourced raw material and learn how to transform this to useful pigments for coloring porcelain or stoneware during a workshop.

During my workshop participants are always amazed by the simplicity of my way of working with local materials (most of the time people collect these raw materials from their own backyard!). I love the fact that I can share this knowledge, and make people more aware of the origin of materials we use to colour our clay with. I hope that through my workshops people find the inspiration to experiment further and find beauty in local or discarded materials.🌱🌍

All the pigments used to develop the colour palette derived from the porcelain industry. 
By mixing them in different ratios we achieved different colours and textures. Each sample is carefully marked with a letter and number corresponding the recipe and sometimes even the place in the kiln.

My research into raw materials always starts with My research into raw materials always starts with making quick and small (color) samples of the collected materials.
The outcome makes it easier to define the right methodology for the next steps.
By simply mixing the raw materials with water I (try to) create clay bodies. These samples are always fired at 960°C before the glaze firing at 1260°C. After a lot of trial and error I can now almost predict, after the bisque firing, if a raw material is suitable for glaze firing or not.

📷 Some of the very first clay bodies made from 16 different raw materials for my projects in Cornwall 🇬🇧 and Arita 🇯🇵. All fired at 1260°C in an electric kiln.

Beautiful deep black Amakusa stones straight from Beautiful deep black Amakusa stones straight from the porcelain quarry. These stones are normally discarded as waste during the production of the famous white Amakusa porcelain. During the research and the development of my collection it turns out that these stones are one of most important ingredients to develop a steady and colored clay body.
