If you ask us? Crafts are the future!

Ceramic crafts have a very rich artistic, cultural and functional history and have been a crucial part of our development until modern times. But most of us today have lost touch with ceramics as a craft, the knowledge and fantastic history it represents.

Today, much of our everyday porcelain is produced in large-scale industrial forms and the craftsmanship of the craft is no longer managed in the same way as before.

Ceramics are a fantastically sustainable alternative for us and nature, but have largely been replaced by mass-produced alternatives and mainly from a completely different material, we are of course talking about plastic. A quick fix and a real bear service indeed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Because despite the fact that today we know how the production of plastic and the massive plastic waste that is left behind affects our environment for hundreds of years to come, we as consumers do not always make informed choices.

These mass-produced plastic products are, of course, lighter, more durable and, above all, cheaper and have therefore largely contributed to the decline in demand for traditionally manufactured ceramics.
Continuing to inform and inform about the art form and the craft is an integral part of reviving the value of the traditional ceramic craft and we are on the train! Count on us. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️
We try to combine local materials and techniques. And highlight the fantastic craftsmanship that we want to live on, combined with more contemporary ideas and modern needs.
We explore and work with local skilled craftsmen with great respect for man and nature. Through our team, we try to integrate international design languages in harmony with craftsmanship and local raw materials for inspiration and new product ideas. At the same time as we make a community contribution and contribute to sustainability throughout the chain, for producers and consumers.
That's why we mean #thefutureishandmade!
