...so in July '97
I enrolled for the ceramics course at the Ecole des Beaux Arts at Uccle
where Patrick
Piccarelle teaches. At the same time I rented
two rooms in his old brick factory in Boom near Antwerp. There, along
with his other students I had access to a big wood-fired kiln + raku kilns.
Mid-March the following
year came to see this place and immediately fell in love with it. Who
could refuse the offer - to live in a brewery? On April Fool's Day I moved
in!
The pottery workshop
I'm setting up here does work - after a fashion - but like everything
else here - it's far from finished.
It's getting there... |
