What to expect from Antoinette's workshops
Antoinette, a self-taught potter, has been working with porcelain since the early 1990s. Initially, she encountered skepticism about porcelain being a “very difficult” clay medium. When she finally created her first porcelain bowl on the potter’s wheel, she couldn’t comprehend why people considered it challenging.

Intrigued by the smoothness of porcelain clay, she continued experimenting with it. She crafted glazed porcelain objects and pit-fired porcelain bottles, bowls, and sculptural pieces.
In 2005, Antoinette aspired to work with translucent porcelain, but her attempts to sculpt porcelain bowls repeatedly resulted in disastrous outcomes. She delved into the history of porcelain, uncovering its association with wars, greed, and deceit. With this newfound knowledge, she returned to her craft with a deeper understanding of the “Diva of clay.”

Antoinette’s first article on the nature of porcelain was published in Pottery Making Illustrated in 2007. Since then, she has authored several articles exploring the unique characteristics of porcelain and has conducted in-person porcelain workshops in various locations worldwide, including her own studio. Antoinette’s workshops are renowned for their intensity, providing potters with comprehensive and detailed instruction on the intricacies of porcelain. ​​
