Black ware and three colours
Compare Tegelen black ware (zwartgoed) with objects made in the three-colour technique. Pay attention to surface, firing method and decoration, and ask which steps in the production process cause the difference.
Contemporary answers in clay
In modern ceramics the same material can become a sculpture, an installation or an everyday object. Look for how the maker uses technique to steer form and meaning.
From display case to studio
Workshops and courses show that ceramics consist of actions: shaping, drying, glazing and firing. Ask which activity is actually available during your visit.
