In this blogpost I would like to share some of the recent porcelain flowers I’ve been making for the new glass domes. As these flowers are all so unique and diverse I thought they deserve some attention of their own before being put together in a new creation. So here’s part II of the flower…
I hope you are doing fine during these summer months (or winter, on the other side of the globe!). Probably many aspects of your life will look different now as covid-19 is still holding the world in it’s grip. The regulations in Belgium are very strong right now as we have a high rate of…
I’m enjoying the moments I can work in my studio as I can look out on our garden and discover new blooming flowers everyday. These spring-before-summer-days are really the best ones! These days I’m slowly working on the last pieces before firing. It always takes me some months before my kiln is completely filled, especially…
As all the ceramic markets are cancelled, I’ve opened my online shop again and filled it with some new piece of handmade porcelain jewellery. Unfortunately it’s not possible to send the glass domes by post so I’ve not added them to my shop. Here’s a little selection of my new porcelain jewellery with a lot…

April… another month has begun… and it’s one of my favourites! Although daily life has changed due to the corona- measures, some things luckily stay the same. I feel really blessed and grateful to be able to work in my studio these days. On those moments, I can forget, at least for a little while,…
‘May stillness be upon your thoughts and silence upon your tongue! For I tell you a tale that was told at the beginning… the one story worth telling… ‘ -Traditional Celtic storyteller’s prologue- Although I’m not much of a storyteller at all, I would like to tell you a little Irish tale of wildflowers by…
A new glass dome is finished… this one is called “Autumn garden”. As you might notice, it contains only typical autumn plants. Let’s take a closer look at all the different autumn plants… Several types of ferns in different stages of growth. The lovely rosehip with their well known medicinal qualities. Tiny clovers. And a…
January is slowly coming to its end. The first month of 2020 is almost gone. How quick these days have gone by. My days were filled with creating in my studio, while enjoying the soft sunlight making patterns on my “forest” wall. Even though my stove was burning, I loved the warmth of the sun…
