Handmade ceramics & immersive clay workshops in nature

Hi, I'm Laura.

I'm a ceramic artist and founder of When Life is Slow. I create handmade ceramics and invite people to experience the slow art of clay through handbuilding workshops in nature around The Hague.

Slow Life

 

 

 

 

 

'WHEN LIFE IS SLOW'
 

A gentle invitation to slow down in a fast-paced world.

Through handmade ceramics and immersive clay workshops, I invite you to reconnect with your creativity, your hands and the natural world.
 

Because sometimes the most meaningful moments begin by slowing down.

The North Sea recalls foaming waves, strong tides that bring a constant change, and washed up treasures on the beach making every visit unexpected and exciting. This is the landscape I feel most connected to, to call "Home".
