European Historical Ceramics

I'm a potter in the Southern Netherlands/German border region. A region with a tradition of slipware ceramics dating back to the 16th Century.
My work is based in that tradition but I do considder myself a contemporary potter.

NOTE: I DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO USE ANY CONTENT OF MY POSTS TO BE MANIPULATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!

We must never forget that some of the bricks and rooftiles that still protect us in our houses were made by underpayed labourers and even children.
