- Hi everyone!
It’s been a little over a year since my first collection went live, which seemed like a great moment for my first Q&A. A few weeks ago I asked you to send me questions over on instagram and in this video I’ll finally be answering some of them. Not going to lie, it was a bit difficult to put all of my thoughts into these answers sometimes, but I hope this video is helpful nonetheless.
Have an amazing day and I hope to see you all soon.

I always love seeing your videos & content. Being so far away (Australia) i'm not always able to support artists with purchases due to shipping costs, but i was so happy to see my question answered in the vlog today and excited to be able to interact with you! I love what you create and seeing your process, the dreamy photoshoot of the clouds is one of my favourites. Congrats on 1 yr, really looking forward to seeing whats to come in the next 12 months! x
Thank you so much for your question and your support! Whether you are able to support by purchasing a piece or by taking the time to leave a comment. Everything is appreciated and means so much 🫶🏻
you are so talented!! i love your work and you really truly inspire me that one day i can run my own ceramic business. i can’t wait to see what is to come in the future
Thank you so so much! I’m happy to be a source of inspiration towards your dream, you can do it ❤️
Congratulations on your anniversary! I love how openly you share your advice & experiences, it's very useful for younger artists. Great work as always!
p.s. the party banner at the beginning is adorable beyond belief, hope you're excited!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hung up the party banners a while back to celebrate Charlotte's birthday. When we took them down I began to miss it so now they're here to stay 🤭
cuteeee
Thanks so much for the Q&A video. It's so interesting to learn more about you and the ceramics business, especially since you're also Dutch! I found you randomly through the CZcams shorts algorithm and I'm so glad I did! I would love to buy one of your Cloud Watering Bells one day :)
Can I ask what camera and lens you're using? The the video quality is crazy
Ahh that's so nice, happy the algorithm brought you here! I use a Fuji X-T3 with the kit lense 😊
@@thecarmeister thanks so much for replying!
Can you tell me what that plant with the big leaves in your Studio is? Fell in love instantly 😍
I can't wait to have my own studio! Yours is really pretty 😊
Greetings from Germany ☀️😊

Thank you so much!
Why have you stoped uploading videos on CZcams? Your content serves as a profound source of inspiration and lays the groundwork for the future of my pottery studio.
