And to tell you they are a hit!

For the fans!!We sell them in our brick store at the Zwaanshals, online and 
at Groos rotterdam.

And here is a new one!!

A collaboration with Magda Rinkema illustrations
Original pencil drawings of her made into iron decals and are fired onto the thin colored

Trimming ceramics day!!

After throwing a lot.....yes a lot of cups for a big order in progress (will tell you more later).
I started trimming like a mad woman!!

Making about 150 "Rock cups" in espresso and cafe size in 12 different clays....whoeha.
I have thrown twelve kind of clays in two days. From the smooth and softness of porcelain to
heavely grogged brown as chocolate clays....
All trimmings will be reclaimed and recycled to make some more ;)
