Owl, Slipware tile 15x15 Cm.
The owl, a bird that through history has been related to potters and pottery.
The late Roman word Ol nested in the language of the Western part of Gemany and the Southern Netherlands.
The Germanic word Euler for potter is still widely used in this region.

3 Faces of a bowl.
Made while I was working as an artist in residence at The Leach Pottery Museum in St. Ives in 2023.
It was wonderful to be able to work in Bernard Leach's studio for 3 months. An inspiring place and I can absolute recomend everyone interested in ceramics to visit. https://www.leachpottery.com/

-St. Catherine-

From a series of chargers I made on Patron Saints for potters.
I'm fascinated by the multitude of Saints and Half-Saints one finds in the Catholic religion and how these mythical figures have become embedded in various regional Folk-Religions.
