My pieces are ranging from contemporary dinnerware to home décor goods and have a clean aesthetic. Every detail is thoughtfully considered and all pieces are individually wheel-thrown.
About
Hello! I’m Desiree, the maker behind DēWē, a ceramic studio based in Amsterdam. My journey into ceramics began in 2018 when I decided to take my life and work in a new direction. Clay offers endless possibilities, and working with the four natural elements—earth, water, air, and fire—continues to inspire me to explore and create.
In my studio in Amsterdam East, I create small batches of stoneware. I enjoy working with soft lines and natural finishes, often applying natural pigments in gentle gradients to highlight the texture and shape of the piece.
My creative process is intuitive, guided by the changing seasons and my mood, which naturally influences my collections. Each collection varies, as I focus on creating one-of-a-kind pieces. This way of working lets me try new techniques and keep my creativity flowing, making each piece a reflection of my growth & evolving style.
Outside the studio, I enjoy spending weekends in our camper, near the water and surrounded by nature. It's a lovely escape from city life and often becomes an inspiration for my pieces.
Thank you for visiting my website. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit to my studio, please feel free to reach out at hello@dewe-ceramics.com or come by by appointment at:
Eerste Atjehstraat 52A, 1094KP Amsterdam.
