I was visited by V.Birchwood for this video. You get to see the production process of a stoneware cup - from kickwheel to wood kiln. The video also contains an interview. These sessions turned out to be a good moment to reflect on trial and error.

Westerwald stoneware can be found in 17th century paintings, like the cheerful drinker by Judith Leyster. The jug is from Museum Rotterdam. In the frieze the letters: "H" and "K" (initials of the mould maker?). The jug was made in the beginning of the 17th century.

Ammersoyen Castle had a series of interesting residents. I'm working on a display with their family crests, based on armorials from the 14th and 15th centuries. The shields will be part of the new set-up in the castle museum.

I've been buying medieval replicas again... I can't resist!
This time a Trivet made by Kloosterhuis ( www.smederijkloosterhuis.nl ) and a frying pan made by @atelierable.bsky.social
I guess this means I have to record a video of me making pancakes on an open fire one of these weeks :)

Would a medieval fire cover have looked like this after one year of use?
This replica by #atelierable was used by @fakehistoryhunter.net , protecting her home against sparks and preventing her cats from lying down in the hot ashes.

I'm fascinated by how my curfew has changed after using it for over a year.
Medieval people would put this over their smouldering fire in the evening so they could go to bed safely and hopefully have still some glowing embers in the morning.

Some new things I recently made - mostly painted majolica and redware. These are replicas of both medieval and early modern pieces. Do you want to know something about a specific piece? Let me know in the comments!

The straw I use for shipping pottery is, to some, more welcome than the pottery itself :)
The best thing about having fragile pottery send to your home is that it comes with a free void, the abyss you shouldn't stare into and... oh wait, it's just Moortje.

I had a lot of fun at Lynn Museum today presenting Tudor music and dance to the fab 'regular' Home Educators' group!
We listened, sang and danced: one of my favourite sessions. 🙂

One day before firing... tomorrow is a hot day for these cups, jugs, bowls, whorls and dishes.
Most of them are replicas made after Roman, late medieval and early modern pottery.

Around the year 2000 26% of Dutch people are living below sea level.

The picture is part of a series entitled "Normal". I made it in 2020. My good friend Kasper posed in the cold water as businessman.

Some pottery I made for Caesar's Ford Theatre in the US. It's now traveling over the Atlantic Ocean. To the right you can see the 17th century pieces that were used for reference.

The Louvre is a kind of majolica heaven! I visited the museum on Friday and saw this extraordinary pitcher. Dating: 1480. Made in Faenza, Italy.

I usually don't do cartoons but this guy makes me so angry. Wilders is a nonsense populist with dangerous xenophobic ideas. Today he took a dump on the Netherlands by dropping out of the Cabinet, blaming others while he was at the steering wheel.

They are still hot from the kiln. Most of them are replicas of historical originals from the 13th to the 17th century.

Some people think air pockets in pottery are dangerous, but it's really moist💧. Water expands about 1700 times when it turns into steam... you can move a train with that! So, drying your pottery is important. And: firing GENTLY.

The Roman mortarium was used for grinding food. That's why the inside has a rough surface. Below: my replica. Original: Rijksmuseum van Oudheden / dating 1-300 AD /

So much has existed far before the existence of humans. We might consider acting less like masters of our surroundings and more like travelers.
