Decorated dish
Art Deco
I threw this bowl from red clay. After throwing, I carved out the pattern with a knife. The bowl is glazed with a blue-green glaze.
Double-walled bowl
Rose
This double-walled bowl was a project for the three-year ceramics course. I built the bowl by hand and carved out the pattern. I colored the inside orange with an engobe. Over that, a transparent glaze and a white glaze on the outside.
series built from blocks
Thames
One of my exam assignments: a series of blocks that together reflect the pattern of the River Thames. Constructed from slices.
object from sheet metal
Kathedraal
An exam piece made of slabs, where the holes have been melted shut with glaze, thus still allowing light to pass through.
Hollow sphere with ornaments
Puffins
A hand-formed hollow sphere from which I cut out the map of Scotland. Then I mounted basalt blocks and puffins inside the sphere. Finished with Northern Lights glaze.
redware mug
Highland Cow
One of the variations of the mugs with a Scottish Highlander. These mugs are without a handle; I also made them with a handle.
Unique lamp
Hidden
In this large examination object, three pentagonal blocks can be seen throughout the pattern, which are ceramically attached to the inside of this lamp. At the bottom is an LED strip that can illuminate the inside.
Pitcher

An exam piece of a pouring jug with a speckled matte glaze and a slightly shrinking white glaze.

Art Deco
I engraved this small flower vase with an Art Deco pattern and, after the glaze firing, finished it with two bands of gold luster, one at the bottom and one at the top.
Ceramic box
Books
An exam assignment for a box that had to contain multiple compartments. The bottom book has a drawer that can be pulled out with the spring. The top book can be lifted entirely, revealing the opening in the middle book. And the top book has a hinged lid.
