| In October 2006 we
held the tenth Studio Exhibition, concluding so a
tradition that started in 1974 in our Kloveniersburgwal studios. Meanwhile all ceramic materials and equipment have gone to others. We continue in work, that demand less physically. The future will tell if once again on this spot an exhibition will be announced. |
