Started ceramics in 1976. Own pottery 1978-1986 and started (pottery & painting workshop) G&T productions in 1992.
Trained in Belgium at Academia Bilzen and academie Genk, in Wales at Wolfcastle pottery and Crete (Greece) Thrapsano (co-op workshop). Participated at ceramics seminars in Holland, Belgium, Greece, France, England and Ireland. Worked in potteries in Belgium (Studio Stockmans), Ireland (Bandon pottery and Cape Clear Island pottery), France and in Greece (Athens and Egio).

My work is mainly in porcelain, fastfired in reduction (gaskiln) at 1300-1330°C. The porcelain I use is mainly KPCL (Limoges) and some Ming and Southern Ice.Most of the work is thrown on the wheel, some lamps however are made by slipcasting and a self-invented technique of spraying porcelain. The porcelain in only glazed (celadon) on the inside, except domestic ware which is glazed all over. Besides the porcelain I also make large orders in stoneware.
