About me

 

 

Artists who perform crafts have fascinated me since I was a child. It all started when I went to a glass blowing workshop with my parents in Italy. I thought it was magic that someone could make something so beautiful from glass and fire. When I vistited a potter I thought, this is what I want to do when I grow up...

After taking a pottery class with three friends, my passion grew. I went back to doing workshops and really got captivated by the ceramics world. At the NKO (Dutch Ceramics College) in Gouda I learned more about the profession of a ceramist and the origins of clay and glazes.

In 3 years I really learned the tricks of the trade. I have come to understand even better how clay is transformed into ceramics and how elements and raw materials have amazing influences on a glaze. My dream became to create a clear, fresh, modern handmade collection!

Since 2021 I share a studio in the polders of Amsterdam with www.art-vive.com. Here I make my ceramics with a lot of love and pleasure to make your everyday things more beautiful and special.

Please have a look at my ceramic creations. I hope you will love them.

Love,

Tess
