Welcome to Karolien's workshop near Antwerp! You will discover a warm place where Karolien has created a sunny and inspiring universe.
During 2 hours, this workshop will allow you to discover and make your own pair of ceramic candleholders.
Karolien will accompany you in the conception of these terracotta objects which will bring a warm touch to your home.
You will learn how to work with clay and you will make your candleholders with your own hands and step by step.
Karolien will then take care of firing your pieces, which you will come back to collect a few weeks later. It is also possible to have them sent to you by post.

Growing up, Karolien had a ceramic artist in her family, from whom she learned to create with clay. An artist, Simon Schoonvliet, saw that she was passionate about making portraits in clay and gave her his toolbox. As a teenager, she was active in the Academy of Temse for ceramics. When she finished secondary school, she chose ceramics in high school. After all this, life took over, she got married and had children and forgot about it.
Only ten years later, she accidentally dropt in the Academy of Hamme and started ceramics again. This time she finished and got her degree. Now she is ready to share her skills on ceramics with you!
Karolien is a patient person, she is good at connecting people en feeling people. She loves to work with adults and children because ceramics is for all ages. Children love to do things with their parents to build strong relationships through fun creative moments.
She can tell you about Japanese energy and Qigong and even has a trapeze room for kids.
Her gorgeous garden, which features a weeping willow, is home to a goat and a goose.
Workshops can be held in the sunny garden if you are lucky!
Superleuke en leerrijke workshop! Leuke locatie en we werden echt heel goed begeleid. Karolien nam de tijd om iedereen persoonlijk te helpen wanneer het niet lukte en iedereen was zeer tevreden met het resultaat. Echt een aanrader!
