The magic of slip casting

  • • Studio Pieter Stockmans was founded in 1987
  • • Pieter and Frank continue the tradition of handcrafted hard porcelain
  • • They believe porcelain can mould those who work with it

The porcelain art produced by Studio Pieter Stockmans results from a combination of traditional craft production and a contemporary, experimental approach. The studio has focused on limited, unique collections since the beginning, and its pieces are highly regarded by leading international chefs. Over the years, Pieter has been a Cultural Ambassador of Flanders and won numerous prizes, including the Red Dot Award. His better known pieces include the trophy for the Memorial Vandamme and plates for a royal wedding in Monaco. Pieter now passes on his 55 years of expertise to his daughter Widukind, who has overseen the day-to-day running of the studio since 2007, and his son-in-law Frank Claesen, who has been creating new designs for the studio since 1999.
