After the studie i went on working as an aprentice with Cor Unum wwith a mould maker . i also had my own studiofor four Years with a kiln my mother had bought .
Now after difficult times in the Netherlands i live with my mother in Germany / BONN WHERE I work in the basement . Last Year i switched from mould making and pouring soft paste porcelain to throwing stoneware bisquuingand glazing cone six . I first wanted to throw porcelain and fire cone ten because i found John Britt‘s high fire book in my stash of books but now that i want to do tests for cone six and have Mr. John Britt his book for mid range temperatures and am looking for high silica scratch resistant tableware glazes for cone six , Ialso read the book Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by Roy & Hesselberth.
