Last week I posted some new dates for the Ceramic

Last week I posted some new dates for the Ceramic Paint workshop (online and live) for this spring.

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 convert it into usable pigments to color porcelain or stoneware. During my workshop, participants are always amazed by the simplicity of my way of working with local materials (usually people get these raw materials from their own backyard!). I love that I can share this knowledge and make people more aware of the origin of materials with which we color our clay. I hope my workshops inspire people to experiment further and find beauty in local or discarded materials.

Stone to ceramics. A closer look on my 6:1 collect

Stone to ceramics.
A closer look on my 6:1 collection, a research in where I used 100% kaolin sourced out of several different porcelain pits in Cornwall.
My goal was to be able to use the waste of the porcelain industry as a pigment to colour porcelain with. In this way the footprint of colored porcelain can be reduced. During the researchprocess it turned out that the unfiltered and raw kaolin is a perfect clay body, colored and mixed by several natural iron and sand minerals. Meaning a less intensive process and less firings in the kiln.

How beautiful is this collection of wild clay collected last year by participants of the Ceramic Paint workshop?!
Every (live) workshop, 4 people come to the studio with their sometimes very impressive collection of wild clays. They share stories of journeys they've taken to collect, ranging from walking for hours to simply digging in their own backyard. After each workshop they leave a little bit of the clay in my studio, which eventually results in a very nice collection of colors.
Thank you everyone for participating and for your enthusiasm!

👉🏻 In next year's first newsletter I will announce a new series of workshops, both live and online. If you don't want to miss anything, you can subscribe to my newsletter via my website.

The very first OER tiles produced by @koninklijke_

The very first OER tiles produced by @koninklijke_tichelaar are here!

Stoneware tiles colored with natural iron sludge. Iron sludge is a bi-material from the production process of our tap water, which we get directly from the tap water pump building in Eindhoven.

By adding different percentages of iron sludge to the stoneware clay, we have achieved a beautiful palette of iron shades.
Originally developed for @brabantwaternl but now also available for other projects!

The OER tiles come in three different shades; eggplant, russet and dark beige.
Concept and research by @lottederaadt and myself.

Please note that variations in colour, shade and surface texture are natural characteristics of this product and are to be expected.

The very first waste-based wall paints are here! We managed to use three different waste-streams as pigments to make a more eco-friendly wall paint. To be continued..

In the research project Waste-based Paint 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 restocked the webshop with a new series of coffee and espresso cups and a new product: deep colorful bowls that we originally developed for the beautiful Wandu Café in Amsterdam. While using and testing the bowls ourselves it turned out that they are the perfect addition to the collection.
As always, the bowls are made from white porcelain clay while the outside is uniquely colored with pigments from my Cornwall collection. There are only a few bowls available, have a look and pick your favorite one.

All these colors containing at least 50% of iron sludge, locally sourced from Friesland. When mixing iron sludge with several other minerals from the lab at Royal Tichelaar this beautiful range of colors arises.

‘Latitude for Uniqueness’, a research around the local porcelain industry in Amakusa and Arita, Japan. Currently working on my new book about using waste streams from various industries. I will give more insight in the different research processes and show why it is so important to make use of normally discarded materials to create less impact on the environment.

📸 Sample number A+B / 34
Made out of white porcelain and raw & unfiltered Amakusa iron waste + Amakusa sand.

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 we can scale up together trying to make even more impact.
