Stoneware inspired by the mountains
Darcmatter Ceramics was founded in Amsterdam in 2015 by Denise Aimee Rijnen. The studio produces costume made ceramic tableware for restaurants, coffee shops and individual customers. In her new studio in Breda Denise shares her pasion for clay by teaching various workshops and courses.
For part of the year the studio moves to the Italian alps in a restored old Baita on an altitude of 1200 meters. Denise hand-throws each piece on the wheel, exploring contrasts between smooth, polished surfaces and raw, rock-like textures.
