Dancing with the sound

Tineke van Gils is truly passionate about the flowing work on the potter's wheel. Regardless of whether she works with the finest porcelain, thin as an eggshell and transparent, or shapes stoneware into unmistakable individual pieces by turning them under her hands, the traces of her work should remain visible. The rotating movements of the potter's wheel shape the form of her characteristic teapots, bowls and mugs in an inimitable way and also keep them visually in motion.
