Exposition at Andenne with the IAC International Benelux group

I am a participant of the “Perspective” Ceramic Art Andenne Festival with the IAC Benelux group traveling exhibition: “Fusion of Visions” from May 17 to June 15, 2025. The exhibition presents a wide range of artistic styles, techniques and visions, offering the public a unique perspective on contemporary ceramics as a multifaceted art form.
”Vision”: is essential for artists guiding the development of ideas across a spectrum of styles;
”Fusion”: enhances individual creativity and contributes to a shared artistic direction;
”Confusion”: remains and integral part of the creative process leading to new and meaningful work.

We will be located in the Maison des Associations.

I stayed in a Bed and Breakfast "De Dulle Koe". It was a wonderful new clean place and a very nice young couple Sybren and Celine taking care. Some animals roamed around on the farm and the mooing of the cow was my alarm clock in the morning! 

The hen and her chicks just some hours old.

To Oostende on the beach on Sept 6

Some artists had left because of other commitments in life. With still a big group left we went with a tour bus to Oostende, a city near the beach. Fortunately, it did rain during the lunch what we enjoyed in a beautiful old hotel palace! Then we went out and enjoyed the beach, sea and walking around.
