It's not all gold that glitters

This is what kept me busy this summer.
Last two months I have mainly been working on four awards for the Piket Art Prizes. The first one has just came out of the kiln (three firings, bisquit, glaze and goldluster).
The basic shapes of the awards are thrown by potter/designer Norman Trapman and I am decorating and sculpting the award.
The first one will be presented at Museum Mesdag during the Den Haag Museumnacht (Museumnight) on September 5th 2015, on that evening the nominees will be presented as well.

Let the trumpets blare! I'm on Youtube! I am featured in the August 2015 episode of ‘De kleine K’, the Independent Digital Ceramic Magazine. http://www.dekleinek.nl/ and they made a video documentary/interview about me and my work.
Below you can watch the interview, especially made for ‘De kleine K’.
