Some projects stay on the shelf far longer than planned…
But after being a work in progress for quite some time, this totem pole project is finally taking shape!

A 2-meter-high sculpture and bird feeder for our garden.

I have 4 spots left for my handbuilding workshop coming Saturday, May 30. (10:00-12:30)

Have a taste of how it feels to work with ceramics during this one-time beginner’s handbuilding workshop!
During this 2.5 hour lesson various handbuilding techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building will be introduced. Whether this is the start of your ceramic journey or just a fun creative morning or afternoon, what you make is completely up to you. You will craft an average of two or three unique ceramic pieces. By the end of the workshop you can paint your work with engobes. I will handle the firing and transparent glazes. Your pieces will be ready for pick-up in about three to four weeks.
If you live abroad, no worries! I offer international shipping for an additional cost, ensuring your handcrafted creation will reach your doorstep.
*Only within Europe.

Two new pieces, ready to be fired soon 🔥
The original plan for the vase on the left was to paint wavy stripes, but sometimes the clay has other ideas so it turned into a wavy relief instead, which I think looks even more beautiful!
