*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟖 / ~* Being free from the limitation of kiln size seems unrealistic in ceramics, yet that’s how I feel when I was working at the @ekwc_oisterwijk I was able to go as big as I can. With this specific stone casting technique I first started with a series of small test piece, later on through overcoming technical challenges such as firing schedule and firing temperature, I was able to create my largest piece ever. Here is a closer look into the details, and two behind-the-scenes clips comparing the size of a test piece to the actual piece, when they were sitting in the spray cabin. 📷 @renevanderhulst #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #stones #cremerging @ceramicsreview

*~/ 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓔𝓢𝓘𝓓𝓔𝓝𝓒𝓨 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟕 / ~* In ceramics, three months of time can go by very quickly as some of you might already know, the making itself is just part of it, and there also comes with time for drying, kiln packing, firing and unloading. With that said I felt the same for my time at the EKWC @ekwc_oisterwijk conducting both making and research at the same time within a 3-months residency felt challenging, yet with the support I received I felt confident in what I was able to bring together in the end. The five vessels shown here are part of my research into experimental glaze casting. By subverting the traditional ceramic processes, I returned to the nature of glaze itself, melting shards of stones within hand-coiled forms. Fired to over 1260°C, these vessels might be seen as man-made lava—where material, process, and chance meet. Deliberately moving away from the use of clay, the works you see here are formed from pure stone and glaze materials—where boundaries between structure and surface begin to dissolve, materials shift between holding and melting. 📷 @renevanderhulst

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟔/ ~* As I wrapped up my residency at the @ekwc_oisterwijk I had the pleasure to work with @renevanderhulst photographing my work. Perhaps I don’t post enough of my face here, as I’d like to keep the focus on my work and the making process of it. Anyways here you go, here is a rare one, a picture of myself (not covered in dust) and my work captured by René. As I settle back to my studio and daily routine I will post more work photos and studio shots about the residency. #contemporaryceramics #ceramics

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟓 / ~* As my residency began to draw to a close, I found myself spending most of my time in the spray cabin — which slowly became my favourite place to be. The lighting felt almost futuristic, and the constant white noise of the extraction system was strangely soothing. It was there that I de-moulded all my pieces from the hand-coiled ceramic shell moulds, before cold-working and polishing the surfaces. Some of the works were heavy and difficult to move around, and I’m very grateful for the help of one of the advisors, @tjalling_quinten_mulder at the @ekwc_oisterwijk . This series has been physically demanding to make, with many techincal limitations to work through and around. Despite that, I’m incredibly excited to share this new body of work with you soon, a collection based on alternative glaze casting. #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #ceramicsculpture #stones #glaze

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟒 / ~* This is how a full day of kiln loading looks like in 15 seconds. With help from the advisors, by using a forklift we were able to pack this kiln in a day, 8 hours of work running around the kiln hall going up and down, moving the kiln floor from here to there. It felt like solving a massive jigsaw puzzle, I must say this was the biggest kiln I have ever packed and fired on my own. I cannot wait to share with you what comes out from this firing. #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #holaiceramics #陶芸 #ceramicsculpture

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟑 / ~* A quick recap of January at the @ekwc_oisterwijk , caught a cold, experimented with lots of glazes and testings, lots of kiln loading and unloading and moving things around. It was cold and lots of snow too, the days are going fast.💫 #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #holaiceramics #陶芸 #ceramicsculpture
