I have been working as an artisan ceramist for over 10 years. My studio has been based in Haren, the Netherlands, for the past two years.

My background is in Fine Arts and Visual Arts, studies that gave me a rich artistic and cultural foundation. In 2015, I chose to specialise in ceramics through a professional apprenticeship with master ceramicist Ariane Coissieux. It was during this training that I discovered my passion for glazes.

In January 2016, I decided to dedicate myself entirely to ceramics and turned my passion into my full-time profession.

A large part of my practice is dedicated to researching and creating my own glazes, which has become one of my greatest passions. I work with stoneware clay from Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, France, and develop my glazes from raw materials. Each glaze is imagined like an abstract landscape—an invitation to travel through unknown places.

My process​

Every piece is entirely handmade using traditional ceramic techniques. I begin by throwing each form on the potter's wheel, then trim the foot once the clay has reached the right consistency.

The pieces are fired for the first time at 980°C (1,796°F). They are then glazed by pouring, dipping, or brushing.

I develop all of my own glazes using raw materials such as silica, kaolin, talc, feldspar, chalk, and plant ashes, combined with mineral oxides including iron, copper, chromium, ochres, and basalt. This allows me to create unique surfaces and colours that cannot be reproduced with commercial glazes.

Finally, each piece is fired a second time at 1270°C (2,318°F) for more than ten hours. This high-temperature firing vitrifies the stoneware, making it strong, durable, and suitable for everyday use.

All of my ceramics are functional, and dishwasher-safe.
