CLAY FUN AT HOME
From March 31: Especially for these stay-in days and for children who like to play with clay: FREE CLAY!
On Monday and Friday morning at 10 I have clay packages in front of my atelier/house window that are free to take. You will also find some inspiration in the shop window. Information and short explanation videos can be seen via the link at the bottom of this page. You can also follow the progress via my facebook page. (link is on this site)
If you would like to have your own creation baked, you can place your workpiece back in the box when it is ready. Pack well in plastic with your name and telephone number or email address.
When the work is dry I will bake it for you and send you a message when it's out of the oven. I cannot say in advance how long this will take. It depends on the quantity, thickness of the workpiece and the number of workpieces that come in.
Greetings, Cindy.

"Working with CLAY brings my home feeling back"
I am happy when I work with clay. I'm from Syria. I have been working with clay since I was 18 years old. In Syria I had a dual exhibition of my work, there was a lot of interest for it. My language coach in Roermond brought me in contact with Cindy and she invited me to come and make something out of ceramics. Now I can work with her and that makes me very happy! Rana.
INTERNSHIP
My name is Marta Kovalska and I'm a student of sculpture and intermediary faculty at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. I spent this summer at Cindy Heldens ceramic studio. It was my first time internship abroad, so I was really excited as to what was going to await for me there. My experience turned out much better than I could have ever anticipated. Thanks to Cindy I felt comfortable and inspired. She gave me a lot of theoretical knowledge and also she was ready to help me all the time I was working with ceramic. She told me about techniques she used in her artwork, taught me wheel throwing and I was so happy to master this new to me thing. There was also enough time scheduled for my own experiments. This internship was a good combination of professional skills and friendly relationships. I think it was a wonderful start into art or ceramics for me. Now I am trying to continue a ceramic practice and I am happy that I can always count on Cindy's advice.
Feels like a holiday
The throwing week at Cindy’s was my first clay experience on the pottery wheel.
What a wonderful week I had, it felt like a little vacation close to home. The environment, playing with the clay, eating and being together with nice people made this week unique. Cindy taught me the principles of throwing in her calm way. Because we alternated the working in the studio with a walk with the dog in the rural area in Beesel, raku, pitfire and koffie breaks and lunches these were very varied and relaxed days. I immediately signed up for my next vacation at Cindy’s.
