Ammersoyen Castle had a series of interesting residents. I'm working on a display with their family crests, based on armorials from the 14th and 15th centuries. The shields will be part of the new set-up in the castle museum.

Some new things I recently made - mostly painted majolica and redware. These are replicas of both medieval and early modern pieces. Do you want to know something about a specific piece? Let me know in the comments!

One day before firing... tomorrow is a hot day for these cups, jugs, bowls, whorls and dishes.
Most of them are replicas made after Roman, late medieval and early modern pottery.

Some people think air pockets in pottery are dangerous, but it's really moist💧. Water expands about 1700 times when it turns into steam... you can move a train with that! So, drying your pottery is important. And: firing GENTLY.
