For over 50 years, artists, designers and architects from all over the world have worked here to experiment with clay. The experiments result in both special works of art and technical innovations. The works developed here are shown in museums from New York to Tokyo. What makes EKWC special is the combination of world-class facilities, the presence of consultants with internationally leading technical knowledge and the openness to freely share recipes, processes and innovations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2e5yt2-d3f397335ca54c1d4e53e2a57c8ed2c6\">\n#top .flex_column.av-2e5yt2-d3f397335ca54c1d4e53e2a57c8ed2c6{\nmargin-top:0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-2e5yt2-d3f397335ca54c1d4e53e2a57c8ed2c6{\nmargin-top:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2e5yt2-d3f397335ca54c1d4e53e2a57c8ed2c6 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  '     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kyva5i6a-77822d93ac01f7d89fe17b5301c395f0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The centre is located in the former dyeing and tannery of the Royal United Leather Factory in Oisterwijk, the Netherlands.

The Ceramic Work Centre (KWC) was founded on the initiative of ceramicist Jan Oosterman and curator Bernardine de Neeve of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. At that time, the centre was primarily intended to provide Kiln facilities. It soon became clear that this was not only efficient, but that it also promoted collaboration and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The number of facilities has grown over the years. The KWC offered workshops and seminars and contacts with museums, galleries and (potential) art buyers. In 1991 the centre moved to larger premises in \u2018s-Hertogenbosch. Due to new, international ambitions, the name changed to EKWC (European Ceramic Work Centre). Thanks to 11 studios spread over two floors, 45 artists-in-residence could be welcomed per year.<\/p>\n<p>The mix of facilities, knowledge and contacts offer career opportunities. Not only for skilled ceramicists, but also for other disciplines. Since the early 1990s, more and more non-ceramicists have registered for a working period. The resulting experiment, technical development and dynamic ensured that the centre occupied an increasingly relevant position in the field of ceramics; indirectly the EKWC influences the (international) world of art, design and architecture<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1z1u2m-38b733298ef647d1f93e38ffad347a1a\">\n#top .flex_column.av-1z1u2m-38b733298ef647d1f93e38ffad347a1a{\nmargin-top:0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-1z1u2m-38b733298ef647d1f93e38ffad347a1a{\nmargin-top:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1z1u2m-38b733298ef647d1f93e38ffad347a1a av_one_half  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kyva91w2-a62c3fbf154f7f8c18737f54bd0520b8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In 2015 the centre moved to its current location. With 16 workspaces, the current building offers the possibility to welcome 60 participants every year. In addition to a studio and apartment, artists-in-residence gain access to the workshop with various kilns, a specialized team, a plaster, glaze, wood, metal and research department, a spray booth and a library that is accessible day and night.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the spacious building, EKWC is now able to also receive general public, higher education and business groups. The centre frequently collaborates with international art academies, scientific institutes, galleries, museums and the (ceramic) industry. Knowledge acquired in both technical and artistic fields is recorded, made available and distributed internationally in the form of masterclasses, exhibitions and publications as before.<\/p>\n<p>Experienced artists and young talents work side by side at EKWC. Over the years, the institute has received many talents and renowned names for a working period, such as Tony Cragg, Anish Kapoor, Jose Maria Sicilia, Kimpei Nakamura, Jun Kaneko, Karin Arink, Thom Puckey and Tom Claassen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1ry7wu-816be7433c3b6b88a97147a72a1bc9a6 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_one_half
