It is already in my agenda: Ceramics Fair Dordrecht 2021 on Sunday 3 October from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (11.00 – 17.00 hr) on Statenplein. Did you put it in yours?
Do it now and I’ll see you this Sunday at the fair, stall 8. And while you’re there, take a look at the work of my fellow ceramic artists 🙂
It’s the 21st edition of this ceramics festival, which has grown into a tradition. A ceramics tradition to which I would like to contribute my (fired) bit.
Also a great opportunity to view, discuss and buy contemporary handmade ceramics. As a unique gift for someone special or just for yourself.
Every ceramist has to get to know his roots, in Western and Central Europe that is the linear pottery (LBK from German: Linearbandkeramik). This Neolithic pottery is over 7,000 years old. They are the oldest pots found in the Netherlands.
Where were these archeological treasures discovered? In the southernmost tip of our country, the fertile loess soils of South Limburg, including Elsloo and Stein. For the first farmers and potters in the Netherlands it was a good place to be. And for today’s ceramists, it still is…
So this summer we went to smell the Linear Pottery culture… and to taste cherry pie in South Limburg.
