What to expect from Antoinette's workshops

Antoinette has been working with porcelain since the early 1990s. ​Early in her career, she often heard that porcelain was a "very difficult" clay medium. As a mostly self-taught potter, working with porcelain was just another hurdle to get over, so when she created her first porcelain bowl on the potter's wheel, she could not understand why people considered the clay as a difficult medium. 

Enjoying the smoothness of porcelain clay, she kept on working with it. 
She created glazed porcelain objects and pit-fired porcelain bottles, bowls, and sculptural objects.
In 2005 Antoinette wanted to work with translucent porcelain, but one after the other porcelain sculpted bowl turned out a disaster. She went back to basics and her research took her through the history of porcelain which involved wars, greed, and deceit. Back at the drawing board, she really got to know the "Diva of clay".

Her first article about what porcelain is was published in Pottery Making Illustrated in 2007. ​Since then, Antoinette published several articles about the character of porcelain and taught in-person porcelain workshops in various parts of the world, including her own studio.  Antoinette does not hold back. Her workshops are intense, teaching potters in detail all they need to know and understand about porcelain.
