Ceramics with a modern twist

  • • Jacqueline was a lawyer before turning to ceramics
  • • She modernises techniques garnered from Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy
  • • Her work unites tactility, minimalism and elegance

"As a lawyer, you mainly work with your head. However, I was missing a sense of passion," says Dutch artist and ceramicist Jacqueline Harberink. She rediscovered her passion by first attending an evening course in ceramics in Milan, then slowly building up her knowledge by enrolling in further courses in Escuela de Ceramica de Moncloa, Madrid. She deepened her skills by attending specific workshops, learning from Luca Tripaldi and Martha Pachon Rodriguez. Her obsession with difficult techniques is clearly reflected in her use of the laborious 14th century Chinese rice grain technique and the shellac technique. She hones her style with hints of the Amsterdamse School aesthetic and natural organic forms, while adding a modern twist.
