Cornwall test plate with 16 ‘forgotten’ Cornwa

Cornwall test plate with 16 ‘forgotten’ Cornwall colors, unfired

During the first research phase (2010-2011) of my Cornwall project I developed over 200 different recipes. By mixing the raw materials in different proportions the combinations seems endless. About 50 recipes made it to the selection of the color palette for my first Cornwall series.
After the second field trip a new research phase started and I expanded the colorful collection with 40 new raw materials, resulting in more than 100 new colors.
Every now and then I’m looking for new combinations. This plate is colored with 16 recipes of the first series (10 yrs ago) which I don’t use anymore in today’s collection, very curious to the outcome!

Currently working on a shop update ready this August.
Coffee and espresso cups and sets of uniquely arranged handmade porcelain plates. I tried out some new Cornwall colors and the outcome is very colorful.

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.

Besides making limited editions of my porcelain, publishing books and giving workshops, I spend most of my time doing fieldwork and research.

This year I worked on a new project together with Lotte de Raadt. During our exploration with the raw material iron oxide as a pigment to color clay, we developed a clay body in beautiful shades of pink.
Iron oxide is a waste material of the production process of our tap water, which we obtain directly from the tap water pumping building in Eindhoven.
Before the iron oxide is useable for coloring clay it needs to be completely dry, ground into very fine powder and finally several times sieved, a time consuming and patient job.
The end result is captured in a new product, the OER tile. Available as a series of tiles in 9 different shades of pink.
Very happy to announce that the first edition of these tiles will be implemented as a permanent art installation for Brabant Water, in their newly built tap water distribution building in Eindhoven.
🌍💦🧱
Specifically for this project, we literally use the iron oxide waste from their location in Eindhoven as a pigment to color the clay body. For the production we collaborate with Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum, they will produce over 9000 tiles.

📸 3 shades of pink + filtered and dried iron oxide

During this years Dutch Design Week we will exhibit the OER tile, including the complete research. Soon more!

Ceramic Paint samples after the glaze fire (1260°

Ceramic Paint samples after the glaze fire (1260°C)
Made during the Ceramic Paint workshop where we testing the textures / colours and potentials of local raw materials through different techniques and recipes.

These raw materials were collected by participants in Brussels and Ohé en Laak (small village, south of the Netherlands). The outcome is very beautiful with some outstanding colors such as shades of grayish purple and bright red.

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.🌱🌍

Recap of my very first self published book ‘Colo

Recap of my very first self published book ‘Colour and material studies in porcelain / Collection Cornwall’.
A research into raw materials and colours of more than 9 years, captured in 176 pages.
Featuring two field-trips, hundreds of colour and material samples (including a lot of trial-and-error), 62 different raw materials and a hand-printed clay cover.
The book is printed in a limited edition of 500 copies and I can hardly believe that it is almost sold out.
Distributed all over the world, shipped to 34 different countries, on all continents. Thank you for all your support and enthusiasm. I’m already busy planning a new book, featuring my Japan research.

Check link in bio for all details and to order one of the latest copies. It’s also your last chance to get your hands on one the 5 colour samples matching the research in the book.

Made during the Ceramic Paint workshop where we testing the textures and colours of local raw materials by using different techniques and recipes.

During the workshop I will guide you through the process of making Ceramic Paint by testing 5 different recipes. You will learn every single step by using your own local raw material.

Currently all planned workshops were postponed due to COVID-19. I’m exploring the possibilities of hosting workshops online, I will keep you up to date once I’m able to host the workshop again.

SH05 bright white 〰️ 100% porcelain waste

SH05 is a residue of the porcelain industry in Cornwall.
The production process of immaculate white porcelain is extremely damaging. One kilo is accompanied by six kilos of waste, the mining changes landscapes once and for all.
SH05 is a bright white pigment with very small grey speckles. Perfect to use on colored clay or to mix with one of the other pigments (LE03 / PD01), or even with your own collection, to achieve new color gradiations with.

End of this week available through the online shop in limited batches.
