treats. There is plenty to experience throughout the day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Behind the scenes:<\/strong> I will give a small workshop and we will do a live opening of one of the kilns to let you share in the excitement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secret stockpile:<\/strong> You are welcome to browse through my stock. There is a bit of everything in there: items of which I only have a single one left, little experiments, and so on. All of this can go for a small price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creativity &amp; Relaxation:<\/strong> You can make something out of clay yourself if you like, and cuddle Boris the studio dog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Raffle:<\/strong> I might even raffle something off at the end of the day!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cross-pollination: From garden to ceramics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a bit of luck, the open day can take place in the garden. Lately, the garden has been gaining more color and shape thanks to Bart. Due to his chronic pain, working with the plants and observing the insects is a pleasant way for him to find distraction. It helps him slow down and enjoy the beautiful little things. In this way, he brings a biodiversity to life where all sorts of things grow and buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is where our cross-pollination occurs: where he slows down, I am inspired to head into the garden with my camera. I capture the details, the life, and the colors that he cultivates with so much care. I take all those impressions back to my workbench, where they form the basis for the ceramics I create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will you let me know if you&#039;re coming?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first time I&#039;m organizing something like this, so I&#039;m very curious to know what else you would like to see during the day. Your input is welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to come, we would appreciate a message so that we can take this into account during the preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope to see you on August 15!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are you planning to come to our open day?
