About Ellis

My name is Ellis and I love to create things that make life a little more beautiful and fun. Whether it concerns interior design, painting or ceramics, color combinations are always the starting point. Colors add spice to life. There are already enough beige, inconspicuous and safe interiors. Not that that can't be nice, but it is sometimes nice to be able to stand out from the crowd and listen to your own taste. I think the trick is to use colors without overdoing it. Graphic design was my main occupation and I also painted a lot. During Covid I came into contact with ceramics and completely fell in love with it. It gives you so many ways to express yourself and clay has so many possibilities. What I love most about ceramics is the moment you open your kiln. It's always a surprise! Unfortunately, not always well, because things can break or the glazes do not turn out as you would like. But that's part of ceramics, accept the failures and move on. In recent years I have taken various throwing and handbuilding courses, but there is still so much more to learn. I think I prefer the hand building part because it's more versatile, but the throwing is a good change and comes in handy sometimes when I need a quick form for my hand building projects. I am still learning and enjoying working with the clay.
