From doily to lace bowl
How a crocheted doily from my grandmother's drawer became the starting point of my most iconic product line. The lace pattern is gently pressed into wet clay. Each relief is unique.
Stories, techniques, and inspiration from the studio

How a crocheted doily from my grandmother's drawer became the starting point of my most iconic product line. The lace pattern is gently pressed into wet clay. Each relief is unique.

After weeks of forming, drying, and glazing comes the most exciting moment: the firing. At over 1200°C the glazes melt and the deep colors that characterize my work emerge.

My whale sculptures are born from a fascination with the sea near Katwijk. The humpbacks and orcas are glazed in tones that suggest the water surface.

Besides the lace bowls and sea sculptures, I also create smaller works: ceramic canal houses and sculptural tulip vases. Each piece tells a story of Dutch heritage.
