Notre histoire
A storeroom, a wheel, and a stubborn idea.
In 1987, Léon Vanderschueren traded a steady job for a rented storeroom behind the flea market.
D'un tour à trois
Thirty-eight years of slow work.
Léon threw pots for the flea-market traders next door, then for restaurants, then for anyone who walked in. His daughter Camille joined in 2012; the studio now runs three wheels and teaches a full class schedule.

Ce que nous croyons
Three things we won't compromise on.
- 01
No moulds, no casting, no shortcuts. If a piece needs two hands on it, it gets two hands.
- 02
A cup you're afraid to drink from is a failed cup. Ours go in the dishwasher and come out better.
- 03
Belgian clay when we can get it, Brussels glazes, and a kiln that runs on green energy.
