CERAMICS

CLAY
All objects made of baked clay are called ceramics.
The term ceramic comes from the word “keramos” which stands for loam, or “work made of earth”.
For centuries "ceramics" has been the collective name.

MAINTENANCE
All ceramics are dishwasher safe. Made of stoneware clay fired in electric and gas ovens to a minimum of 1240 degrees.
Since each piece is hand formed, no piece is exactly the same. This gives the ceramic its special character.
The irregularities make each piece unique.

REUSE
Artifacts and decorative objects usually do not lose their value and are completely "re-used".
In addition, ceramic residues can be ground into granulate and recycled into new ceramic products. Even at the end of the life cycle, ceramic products are harmless to people and the environment.

SUSTAINABLE
Longevity is an important aspect for the ceramist. Due to the firing process, ceramics can last an exceptionally long time and partly due to the natural ingredients, ceramics are a very sustainable product.
Since 2016, 33 solar panels provide the entire energy requirement in the studio.
All products are colorfast and require no maintenance.

PRECIOUS PRODUCTS
Most ceramic products are lastingly valued for their aesthetic value
combined with a good user experience.
They form the backdrop of our daily lives, and have been for centuries.

NATURAL RESOURCES
Clay is a widely available raw material. The amount of clay used annually by ceramists is very small.
Research by Deltares (2009) confirms that more clay is deposited in the Dutch floodplains by the rivers every year than is mined by humans. This shows that clay is a renewable raw material.
