A look in my studio where mainly material and color samples can be seen.
I am currently researching various raw materials together with (large) production partners. While creating very small samples and testing in the studio is what I do best, the challenge is always how and if we can scale up together and try to make some impact.

Preparing for this summer’s artist-in-residency

Preparing for this summer’s artist-in-residency @koninklijke_tichelaar with @lottederaadt
During 7 weeks we will work at the old factory of Koninklijke Tichelaar in Makkum and have access to their renowned lab and highly knowledgeable and talented staff.
Together we will continue our research around iron sludge to develop new, more sustainable and high-end building elements.  Established in 1572, Koninklijke Tichelaar is the oldest ceramics company in the Netherlands and has an amazing track record in the field of ceramics and design. It’s such an honour to work with them.

In this project, designer Lotte de Raadt and myself developed new ideas for the use of iron sludge in ceramics and tiles. Iron sludge is a residual waste product from water production in the Netherlands. Having a deep red colour, we quickly realized the sludge could potentially be a great source for making ceramic pigments. We tested several applications and found that the material can indeed be used to produce a beautiful pink/red colouring on ceramics. We ended up developing a line of wall tiles in different shades that can be used in sustainable architecture.  We are very much looking forward to testing and developing new sustainable solutions in close collaboration with Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum. If you happen to be around (between August 22 and September 30), let us know, the factory will be open to the public and we would be happy to meet you and tell you all about our research.

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 live or online workshop.
👉🏻There are a few places left for October. Check my website for all dates and availability.

While my second book 'Colour and Material Studies

While my second book 'Colour and Material Studies in Porcelain / Collection Cornwall' has been out of print for a few months (thank you very much!) I am currently working on a new book.

In 2019 I went to Arita 🇯🇵 for the last time, and photographer @ingridhofstra accompanied me. We have documented the entire investigation of the production process of immaculate white porcelain in Arita.
In this research I went in search of the raw kaolin that is used in the production of Arita porcelain. I visited the quarries and factories where the famous Arita porcelain clay is collected and processed. I found that the kaolin harvested in and around Arita was exceptionally pure, leaving only a small amount of waste. However, these small deposits of mineral waste gave me and Sehyo-san, the potter, enough material to develop a specific and unique color chart containing over a 100 colors and several clay bodies.
The book will reveal the process of all developed colors and materials, sourced from just a handful of quarries and production sites in southern Japan.

Second batch of color samples for my Waste-based P

Second batch of color samples for my Waste-based Paint research, made in my own studio.
In this project I set out to investigate how we can make every-day paints and coatings more eco-friendly. In particular, I investigate how natural pigments can replace synthetic pigments when producing emulsion paints. The work involves analyzing raw materials and residual waste streams, developing pigments from those streams, and testing the final products.
Besides developing a new product, the project also aims to make end-customers more aware of how paints can be used in an eco-friendly way.

In this project I work together with @baril_coatings

I just put up a few new dates for the Ceramic Paint workshop (online and live). Check my stories for details and book your spot.

Learn how to make Ceramic Paint with locally sourced raw clay and/or mud.
Collect and bring your own (locally) sourced raw material and learn how to transform this into usable pigments to colour porcelain or stoneware.

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.🌱🌍
