ABOUT MVCW

Hello, MVCW stands for Marc Verbiest Ceramic Works. So my name is Marc Verbiest and, given my age of 55, I am a late developer as far as ceramics are concerned. I am an interior designer by training and have always had a quiet admiration for clay, ceramics and throwing pots in particular.

In the distant past, I took a few pottery classes, but in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it was only after the summer of 2021 that I sought and found the time to pursue the spark of ceramic work. I took a first series of lessons at ceramics studio Clay-days in Mechelen after summer 2021. After a few lesson series, I joined the open studio at Clay-days.

Meanwhile, I have my own mini-studio where I try to do my own thing in peace. I try to put some rough, contrasting, yet colourful and elegant touches in my pieces and try to work in small editions, each of which has its own line/name.

At the end of 2022, I started taking some master classes, including with Vera Stoefs.

End 2023 the website and webshop "MVCW" should be up and running.

Another hobby I have is cooking. I thought it would be nice to combine clay work and cooking and put some simple recipes online and showcase them in my ceramic work.
