It's March and spring is definitely on its way? Have you noticed it too? In this blogpost you'll discover which blooming spring flowers are inspiring my work in my studio these days.

It looks as if nature is still asleep but as you will discover in this blogpost, there are hints of Spring to be noticed these days. So let us embrace the last of winter before Spring arrives and make February into a fairytale!

I'd love to share the publication of an article about my work in the renowned international magazine, New Ceramics.

This postcard with my best wishes is for you!

The winter season is around the corner. A season of rest, reflection and hibernation.

In this blogpost I'll share some personal thoughts about how I'm dealing with stress right now and what hibernation looks for me.

As the year 2023 is slowly coming to its end, I’d love to share some of my latest works.

November … the month between golden October and festive December. For many it can be a dreary month and maybe we’d like to have this month passed by as quickly as possible. Short and dark days with often a lot of rain. Everything is fading in the garden and nature.

But I’d like to share with you some of the moments this months delighted me with … I hope November has given you joyful moments too!

I’ve created new pieces for my winter collection. With these ‘Floral Tales’ I hope to bring some natural beauty and poetic delicacy to brighten up the gloomy winter days.

In this blogpost you can read everything about a 6-page article about my work in Seasons magazine. It’s a well-known Dutch magazine about enjoying the pure and natural life.

Are you also fascinated by gardens and history? Why won’t you join me on an adventure in the Botanic Garden of Meise? It’s a garden full of history where I discovered exotic plants in an amazing glass house, historical buildings and the beauty of autumn in the English landscape gardens.

A little sneak peek of the new update of my shop with the Autumn Collection 2023.

As we’re slowly approaching the autumnal equinox, I’d love to share some memories of these last September summer days.

However, there are definitely subtle signs of Autumn. A season of bright colours, warmth, coziness and the scent of the earth is slowly approaching!

Behind every book there’s a story, isn’t it?! It’s definitely true for the porcelain notebooks I make. So let me tell you the story of a notebook which is completely handmade, from cover to cover and filled with botanical treasures!

At the International Ceramic Days in Oldenburg 2023 I’ve won the main award for New Ceramics. Such a happy surprise and a big honour!

The forests are the lungs of our earth and are a wonderful but fragile ecosystem. By creating these ‘Stories of the Forest’, I want to focus on the beauty and diversity of the forest but also encourage people to take care of it so they won’t be destroyed for the future generations.

Time for un update of the new works I’ve created the last months! You can discover some of them in this new blogpost… Be ready for a lot of botanical details, made by hand in porcelain!

The end of April is a magical time as it’s the nature is adorned with delicate blossoms (and it’s my birthday on the last day of April). I live in a region in Belgium which is well known for its fruit orchards so I’m surrounded by blossoms every day these days. When I go for a walk or a morning run I enjoy endless rows of blooming pears, apples and cherry trees.

I notice I’m slowly losing my feeling of wonder and enchantment with every year that passes by since I live here. It’s as if I’m getting used to this abundant beauty around me. And it make me feel a little melancholic and sad as I long for that deep sense of wonder and delight I had in the beginning. So it makes me wonder how I can learn to be awe again, to really see. That’s what this blogpost is all about (and lots of blossoms too of course)!

When spring is lingering in the air, I always feel the urge to fully open the windows and doors. Not only to let the fresh air and sweet fragrance of blooming blossoms in but also to hear the beautiful bird songs.

But my doors are open for you too and I would love to share with you what I’m up to this month in my studio. Let me tell you more about the wonderful material, porcelain, I’m working with!
