Renate

Co-owner

I’m a ceramic artist who designs and produces handmade ceramics. After years spent working as a photographer, I felt the need for a new challenge. That’s when I decided to take a ceramics course, and I discovered my true passion for clay. I soon established my own studio, “Claytuesday,” and enrolled at the Dutch Ceramics School in Gouda to refine my techniques. My work reflects an authentic exploration of materials, shapes, and balance, primarily focusing on tableware crafted on the potter’s wheel, along with some hand-built pieces. Recently, I’ve embarked on a new journey with CLAYGYM, where I can dedicate myself to sharing my love for ceramics and teaching others the skills to work with clay.

As an co-owner and ceramic enthusiast, I bring a deep passion for applied arts, to our creative space. My role centers on handling the business aspects of the studio, allowing our artistic team to thrive and create freely. With a background in both business and a love for arts, I’m dedicated to fostering an inspiring environment where creativity and craftsmanship can flourish. I believe in supporting our studio’s vision, blending art with strategy to build a sustainable, vibrant community for ceramic art.  You can expect hopefully more CLAYGYM’S in the near future.
