    Autumn: Work-in-Process


    After a summer residency at Cool Clay Collective (Rotterdam), I am back at my atelier after a period of research and exploration. During these two days I share my work-in-process as a starting point to exchange ideas and experiences together with others. 

    By appointment. If interested please contact me.
