Amazing gardener artwork at the Montreal Botanical Gardens

Na de vakantie ga ik op vrijdagmiddag Knutsellessen geven aan volwassenen in Pondok.(Poeldijkstraat 391, Amsterdam)
Keramiek, schilderen, edelsmeden, figuurzagen, tekenen, experimenteren met inkt, solderen… alle technieken komen aan bod.

Zijn er geïnteresseerden in de buurt?

Beatrice Wood kept a three-line diary, from the time her father gave her the first one when she was a young girl, until the end of her life. Three lines, every day, no matter what. As a life-long student of ceramics, she kept copious notes regarding her ongoing experiments with glazes. And she continued to draw, right up to the end. There's something to be learned from her example.

We zijn weer begonnen in West! Doe je ook mee? Op dinsdagavond of op donderdagochtend is er nog plek :-)

Poterie Africaine Confection d'un pot en colombin

The Great Pottery Throw Down!

Well today's the day... Tonight's the night!!

I'm on the telly (9pm on BBC2's the Great Pottery Throw Down). I, like any of you who care to watch it, have not seen any of it yet; yes, I will be watching it for the first time too! Will it be good? Good is a broad criteria. All I hope is that my passion for clay, ceramics and pottery will be communicated through the medium that is TV. It's a passion I have had since the age of 11 at secondary school and I hope that it will touch you in some way to realise, entertain, and inform you of the wonderful techniques that make up this broad church of potters that we are.

It was a truly wonderful and honoured experience. All the contestants on the show were fantastic on lots of levels, and I hope that Love productions (the team behind the show) have conveyed in some way the hard work and love for pottery the contestants/potters put in to the show (I'm sure they have... They were quite brilliant !)

So enjoy! x
