FOUNDED IN 2012


I am Suzan Becking and I started my own business in porcelain production in 2012, during my graduation year at Hogeschool voor Kunsten Utrecht / Utrecht School of the Arts.
Growing up, creating has always been a way to express myself. I have always been illustrating, dancing, cooking. Funnily enough I have only discovered a love for ceramics at art school.

Ceramics teacher Frans Ottink (studio Zand, Amersfoort) showed me that ceramics is more than wheel throwing (which didn’t interest me at all). This is when I learned about the art of modelling, mould making and production.

May it be under different names for the production company, the motivation behind the work has always been the same: love for the material and the craft.

HUSK Ceramics is a ceramics design and production studio, specialising in slipcasting porcelain. Everything we do revolves around craft and creating products that bring joy into our daily routines through soothing aesthetics and functionality.
Though we are specialised in working with porcelain, we also provide options to work with other types of ceramics, such as stoneware.

We find value in creating things that last. Our work is 100% handmade in our atelier in Utrecht, where we pour all our time and care into every step of the process. The individual character of each piece tells a story about our craftsmanship. We carry out all steps of the process in our atelier, from beginning to end. Find our more about our production process on our HANDMADE page.

Looking back, we have been lucky to have been able to create so many beautiful things, for and with so many talented designers.

At the same time I have also designed and developed many collections of my own, of which the pieces are slowly spreading out to more and more stores, restaurants and coffee shops.

The team at HUSK Ceramics has grown slowly. Since 2021 Cheralyn has joined us and leads production. She also has her own ceramics and design studio: MIROSU.
Imme Huetink is in charge of certain projects within our team, since end of 2023. She also has her own design studio: Imme Huetink.



LOCATION

HUSK Ceramics is based in Vechtclub XL, an old industrial building transformed into a creative hub, since the beginning. Because the studio is located on the frontside of the building, we are lucky to have large windows and our own little entrance on the righthand side of the main entrance of Vechtclub XL.

In this studio of about 100m2 we manufacture all products by hand. Having a separate plaster area apart from the ceramics area, we make sure we keep everything clean.

All of our courses and workshops are also taught in this space, giving you the unique experience of being inside our small ceramics factory.

Parking on the terrain of Vechtclub XL is free.

Visits of the studio are on appointment only. Please contact us by sending us an email or filling in the contact form to request a visit.
