Celebratory plates
- • Ingrid enjoys experimenting with clay
- • She takes the planet into consideration
- • Her plates add a joyous touch to dinning
As a former art teacher, Ingrid Wens discovered the world of clay and ceramics relatively late in life. After being inspired by the exhibits at Design Week in Eindhoven, she decided to experiment with ceramics to have the chance to work with three dimensional shapes, in contrast to the work she had done up to that point. It was during a ceramics course that she discovered the endless possibilities of clay and its versatility. The inherent challenges of working with ceramics also attracted Ingrid to the medium. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Arendonk, she has since focused on handcrafting ceramic plates. She draws inspiration from historical European sources of decoration, adding streaks of nonchalance with her glazes that she concocts herself.
