Beautiful green clay collected by a participant fr

Beautiful green clay collected by a participant from Belgium.
This clay is still green because it’s not oxidized yet, a process which turns this clay into red shades. However, during the firing process the green is transformed into a deep, shiny warm red.

Workshop info: All upcoming workshops are sold out, beginning of next year I will put up some new dates for April and May. Subscribe to my newsletter (link in bio) for early acces to book your spot.

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.

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.🌱🌍

A new series of my Cornwall porcelain pieces are now available for purchase online through my website.

This final collection of the year includes some ‘forgotten’ Cornwall colors, (developed between 2011 and 2013) which I used for the cups and a few Cornwall plates in 3 different sizes, available to order as single pieces.

All items are handmade with white porcelain and coloured with pigments derived from several raw materials
collected during two field trips in Cornwall, UK.

Grayish pink porcelain sample. Raw Japanese kaolin

Grayish pink porcelain sample.
Raw Japanese kaolin turns into a shade of pink during the glaze firing at 1260 degrees.
The raw material in the back is Tajima Amakusa sand, a material 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 several pigments to color porcelain with. #designresearch #kirstievannoort #latitudeforuniqueness #arita #behindthescenes #rawmaterials #porcelainwaste #glazelife #research #fieldtrip #fieldwork #orangeporcelain #japanesepottery #handmade #naturalmaterials #amakusa #amakusapottery #amakusaporcelain photo by @ingridhofstra

Last week I started my newest project Wastebased Paint. An investigation into the possibilities of producing eco-friendly paint in an even friendlier way by replacing fossil-based raw materials with natural materials, including residual materials.
Find out more about the research in today’s story.

In this project I work together with @baril_coatings
Supported by @stimuleringsfonds

Beautifully colored clay from Belgium brought by 2

Beautifully colored clay from Belgium brought by 2 participants during my Ceramic Paint workshops.
The warm beige is ‘Maasklei’, collected at the river the Maas in the north of Belgium. The brown one with some green tones is collected many years ago and the exact location is unknown.

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.🌱🌍

Next year I will host both live as online workshops. Subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know.

A glimpse inside my studio by @eefjevandongenfotog

A glimpse inside my studio by @eefjevandongenfotografie
Cabinet full with experiments in both colour and materials, made over the past 10 years. Most of them are part of my Cornwall series.
In my work I use design as a way to communicate a certain process or the story behind a material. When I’m intrigued by one of these a study starts by documenting the environment or the process, and making detailed test and experiments with material samples. The outcome of the research could form the foundation of the concept behind a final product or result in the research itself.

I’m very grateful to share that I will start a new research around (local) discarded materials which is honored by the Dutch @stimuleringsfonds
From next week you can find me busy in the workshop testing raw materials for a complete different industry than I’m used to, which means no ceramics!
Follow along to learn more about my newest project in the next couple of weeks.

Three colored bowls (2008), my very first work in porcelain.
A series of bowls, made out of porcelain, as the result of a half year experimenting with oxides and porcelain clay. The research is based on copper-, nickel-, chromium-, manganese-, and cobaltoxide and how they react with porcelain clay. One set consist out of 7 bowls, nestling in each other. Some materials have a big influence on each other, the shape is transformed and colors are blending.
The outcome is a collection of 35 unique bowls with textured surfaces and blended colors, each is marked with the color number, date and time.

My Cornwall research, completed between 2011 and 2

My Cornwall research, completed between 2011 and 2017, consists out of four parts; the color- and material research itself (samples and a small series of ceramics), the book ‘Ceramic Paint / Collection Cornwall’ (first field trip and research), the recently published second book ‘Colour and material studies in porcelain / Collection Cornwall’ (second field trip) and The Cornwall Collection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Cornwall Collection gives more insight about the original use and the story/history of each of the raw material collected during my two field trips. The collection consist out of a series of 5 porcelain objects all referring to the original use of the raw materials, from 5 different industries in Cornwall, UK.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shown here, saucepan ‘Geevor’ colored with pigments extracted from the copper industry (LE02), cup and saucer ‘Nanpean’ colored with pigments from the china clay industry (HE02) and the jug ‘Bugle’, porcelain colored with pigments extracted from the tin industry (1320).

The jug ‘Bugle’ is now available through @catawiki Dutch Design Week auction; find the link in bio.
In the next couple of months other pieces from the Cornwall Collection will be available, I’ll keep you posted here and via my newsletter (subscribe button at my website).

All mentioned colours, numbers, raw materials and the fieldwork itself can be found in the book 'Colour and material studies in porcelain / Collection Cornwall'.

From this weekend you can visit my studio during @dutchdesignweek
Together with @lottederaadt I will exhibit our newest project ‘From sludge to tile’.

A series of pink tiles made from earthenware coloured with natural iron sludge which is a waste material of the production process of our tap water.
The iron sludge for this collection is obtained directly from the water production plant in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
With this residual material we have designed wall tiles in 4 different shades. Each shade is named after the different percentage of iron sludge being used to color the clay. On show are numbers 3-4 and 7-8.
Find us @nul.zes or follow the ‘Sustainable Products’ route via @dutchdesignweek
Hope to see you around!
