Studio Hes, Ceramics & Knits

Since 2020 I own a turning wheel. My ambition was to learn to become a ceramicist. However, life happened and I moved to Belgium, had two children and spent most of my time on either being a mother, designing books or knitting. I learnt to knit after my first child was born. I slowly got the hang of it and nowadays there is hardly an evening I’m not knitting. There is always something on my needles, more often several projects. The kids are dressed in woollen hats, sweaters and even get to play with knitted toys!

But.. the dream of working as a ceramicist was still lingering..

So, in 2025 I picked up the clay again, rented an atelier and bought an oven!

It’s a large studio with so many possibilities. My dream is to open a studio for others to enjoy learning and working with clay and wool too. I will take this year - and maybe half of ‘26 as well -to prepare the space and myself for welcoming students. And in the meantime I’ll continue honing my skills and creating ceramic pieces.
