Two colored bowls (2008). My very first work in porcelain, as a result of an assignment by my teacher @fransottink during my study @designacademyeindhoven in the second year.
He gave his students only two words, which were porcelain and colour. It was the first time for me I ever touched liquid porcelain clay and I started to explore this material in combination with metal oxides such a copper, chromium and manganese. I made over 200 small tests (see second photo, 📷 @miebrinkmann ) and finally a few sets of nestling bowls. It turned out that, when making bigger bowls, the oxides started to influence each other and the porcelain clay. The outcome is a collection of very beautiful shapes with a textured surface and blended colors, created by combining different combinations of metal oxides and porcelain clay. Each bowl is marked with color number, date and time.

Cornwall test plate number 2.
Colored with 16 different recipes all developed with raw materials collected in Cornwall during two field trips. 🔎⛰🧱

Some of these colors I used for today’s shop update, which opens at 13:00h PM(CEST) 👉🏻 Link in bio

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 recipes.
Every now and then I’m looking for new combinations to use in my collections. The outcome of this test plate is very colorful, you can find the results in today’s shop update.

A glimpse of this Summer’s collection which includes coffee/tea cups, espresso cups, small bowls and a few sets of plates. For this collection I tested some new recipes, the outcome is very colorful.

All pieces are handmade from porcelain and coloured with natural raw pigments derived from several porcelain and metal ore pits in Cornwall.
There’s only one of each available. I expect the shop update to be ready this weekend.

Compiling two new sets of colour samples.
Each set consists out of 5 different colour samples coloured with raw materials derived from 5 different porcelain and metal ore pits in Cornwall, UK.
These sets are part of my never ending research into raw materials and how we can transform these into usable pigments to colour ceramics with.

Preparing for this month’s shop update. Expect bright and powerful colors all derived from natural raw materials found in Cornwall 🇬🇧.

The Cornwall project started 10 years ago and I’m still learning more about the raw materials by developing and testing new recipes.
I created a selection of cups and plates with these colors that will be available in the webshop this August.

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!

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.
