Sunny France here I come I’m off for a 3 week holiday in France. 2 weeks will be spent at Frank’s i’ll be taking pottery classes there and the last week we’ll just hang out go sightseeing,…..

Yesterday Belgian actor Senne Rouffaer died….. as a kid I loved  the television show Kapitein Zeppos as my father did before me and brother years later…

I read it on teletext this morning after coming how rom a party/concert…  by amongst others 2many DJ’s

After working very hard to get my diploma i kinda relaxed a bit…. but now i need to get going again, there are different things I plan on doing:

1. testing ash glazes
   
2. making ceramic pencils crayons etc
   
3. some tests with porcelain
   
4. defining a new project to work on during the summer

but it’s so hot i don’t really have any inspiration…. not for making pottery that is….

Last week i wen to a nice exhibition in the Tiendschuur in Tegelen called naked clay… very nice work….

This weekend I was supposed to go on a workshop by a Korean artist… but it got cancelled

About a month ago I got my diploma from SBB in Gouda (Netherlands). I only took the “handforming” exam so know i’m pondering wether to do the throwing one next year or to take on some other course…. I’ve got some options:

1. Throwing @ Gouda
   
2. art academy @ arendonk
   
3. art academy @ hoogstraten
   
4. just do different workshops
   
5. try and find a place in a pottery
   
6. combination of the above

I’ll make up my mind during my holiday in France

some of my exam piece:

I decided to make this blog a kind of  process book for my pottery where i write about projects i’m working on, glaze experiments, workshops and courses, interesting websites,….
