Some of the colour samples made during my research

Some of the colour samples made during my research ‘Latitude for Uniqueness’, in Arita Japan.
During this research I set out to explore the raw kaolin used in the production of Arita (JP) porcelain. I visited the quarries and factories where the famous Arita porcelain clay is gathered and processed. I found that the kaolin harvested from in and around Arita was especially pure, leaving just a tiny amount of waste. However, these small deposits of mineral waste gave me and Sehyo-san enough material to develop seven new colors specific to Arita and one new clay body.

Cornwall test plate number 1 🔥 bisque fired at

Cornwall test plate number 1 🔥 bisque fired at 960°C.
Colored with 16 different recipes all developed with raw materials collected in Cornwall during two field trips. 🔎⛰🧱
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. Developing new recipes with raw materials seems like a never ending process which I enjoy the most.

Blush pink, 100% kaolin collected in Cornwall, 🇬🇧
Part of my 6:1 research in where I investigated the production process of immaculate white porcelain. One kilo is accompanied by six kilos of waste, the mining changes landscapes once and for all. Currently I’m developing a limited edition series (which will be for sale later this year!) of plates all derived from raw kaolin.

Another color derived from the local kaolin indust

Another color derived from the local kaolin industry in Amakusa, 🇯🇵
The production process of immaculate white porcelain is an extremely intensive and very precise work. In Amakusa they even filter out all bigger ironstones by hand.
In my research ‘Latitude for uniqueness’ I use these discarded black and brown iron stones to crush them into pigments.
The result is a palette consisting out of 7 different colors all derived from the kaolin industry.

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 The Netherlands, Belgium and France. The outcome is very beautiful with some outstanding colors such as shades of warm yellow 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.🌱🌍

Currently all 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.

Shades of natural pink 🧱🧱🧱

Earthenware tiles coloured with natural iron sludge. Iron sludge is a waste material of the production process of our tap water, which we obtain directly from the tap water pumping building in Eindhoven.
We transform the iron sludge into a pigment by drying, grinding and sieving the material several times.
The end result is captured in the OER tile. Available as a series of tiles in 4 different shades of pink.

All tiles are handmade at our studio in Eindhoven. Variations in colour, shade and surface texture are natural characteristics of this product and should be expected.

Project developed with @lottederaadt in collaboration with @koninklijke_tichelaar @brabantwaternl @inboarchitects

Ceramic Paint samples ready for the bisque firing. Colored with pigments from Spain, France, Belgium and Germany. All made by participants during last Octobers live workshops 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. 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.

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.

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
