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.🌱🌍

Shades of natural pink and grey, all of them derived from raw clay minerals.

Testing new ratios for my 6:1 series by using 5 different raw materials collected at several porcelain quarries in Cornwall, UK. As part of my ongoing research into the production process of immaculate white porcelain.

Beautiful results from last week live workshop.
Clay samples in warm beige, light grey and dark pink collected by participants in Denmark, France and Germany.

Selection of samples made during my research into the production of immaculate white porcelain in Arita, Japan.
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.

A: Amakusa black iron
B: Tajima Amakusa silica
C + D: Tajima Amakusa iron
E: Izumiyama silica
G: Umezaki iron waste
25: Amakusa black stone

Ceramic Paint samples ready for the bisque firing.

Ceramic Paint samples ready for the bisque firing. Colored with pigments from Italy, France, Belgium and Germany. All made by participants during last month’s live workshop at my studio in Eindhoven.

During the workshop I will guide you through the process of making Ceramic Paint and clay bodies by testing 5 different recipes. You will learn every single step by using your own (locally) collected raw material.

Currently all workshops are sold out. Soon I will put up some new dates for May and June. Subscribe to my newsletter (link in bio) for early acces to book your spot.

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.

Two raw materials which are normally discarded as waste during the production of the famous white Amakusa porcelain. Now one of most important ingredients to achieve a rich palette of pigments to color porcelain with.
