From 14 - 16 February I will once again join OBJECT Rotterdam. This year's edition will take place on a brand new location right in the city centre of Rotterdam: the former V&D. An old shopping mall transformed into state of the art office spaces. But for one weekend it will show the work of 150+ designers and artists!

I will show a new project I'm working on, together with artist Dave van Rossum. An idea we've had for almost two years now, finally actualized and ready to launch. A piece of wall art that is not only to look at but also to play with. We hope to see you there to show it in real life.

Thursday 13 February - invite only (16:00-20:00)
14 - 16 February (11:00-18:00)

Want to learn how to make a multi part mould? Join our expert course, starting in January!

During this eight-week course we will help you create your own design in porcelain, from start to finish. You will go through the whole proces of making a model and mould in plaster, slipcasting with porcelain and finishing your products with glaze. In this course we will spend more time on the design of muli-part moulds, which means you can create a more complex shape. No prior experience is needed but if you want to start at the basics? Join our basic course first!

Start Friday January 24th, 14:00-16:30

New collection at OBJECT

Posted: 23-01-2024
Blog Post with Image

The new STUCCO tableware collection will be launched during OBJECT Rotterdam. In continuation of my recycling research, I designed a new tableware collection made of 100% recycled porcelain. The name STUCCO comes from the series of wall tiles I created in 2022, inspired by plasterwork techniques.

When mixing different colours of leftovers and trimmings I always end up with a grey slip. Due to variations each batch has a slightly different hue. The reclaimed slip is too thick for regular casting, so I experimented with new ways to apply it in the mold. By applying it manually, layer by layer, it creates the most unique patterns and textures. This tactile tableware just begs to be held!

RIBBEL collection for Saudade Collective

Blog Post with Image

During the lockdown in 2020 I started collaborating with Saudade Collective. This new initiative is all about sustainable and fair design, by working together closely with craftsmen and women. I am one of the lucky few that got to design a new collection of porcelain planters and vases for this label!

The RIBBEL collection is now available online and in few stores in NL! Do you want to see the pieces before buying? Make an appointment to visit my studio in Utrecht or the office of Saudade Collective in Emmen.
