About

"Learning from masters like Viktor & Rolf and Iris van Herpen has been about more than technique—it's been about daring to redefine what's possible."

 

Eline Mathe - Eline Bouman - Creatrice Ceramics

 I'm a mixed media artist, where my background in fashion has led me to experiment with different practices.

After majoring in fashion design, I interned with visionaries like Viktor & Rolf and Bas Kosters.

Post-graduation, I worked with Iris van Herpen, exploring new paths before immersing myself in pottery. Courses at De Nederlandse Keramiekopleiding and the Tortus School in Copenhagen taught me the beauty of this craft.

From my home studio in Arnhem, I launched Creatrice Ceramics in 2021, embracing the fusion of fashion and pottery.

 

I experiment with form and function, exploring the craft of pottery with the element of fashion.

Working with clay, I engage in both sculpting and wheel throwing, finding a balance between these two opposites as I believe the technique should follow the idea. Subsequently, I incorporate glazing and sometimes multiple layers of fabric into my work. It's like I'm painting with glaze and fabric and ceramics are my canvas.

While creating, I try to stay open in the process as I like to search for the aesthetics of what is and find beauty in the coincidental things that occur. Embracing ceramics has taught me the beauty of unpredictability, allowing me simply to let creativity flourish, finding immense possibilities within the variability of my craft.

At the moment, I’m mainly focused on creating art, but feel free to bring up any idea, as I do commission work on a regular basis.
