SALON/Big Bang: Herman Verhagen at the Oude Kerk

Herman Verhagen, GIB GNAB
About: Herman Verhagen, the potter, graduated in 2003 at the
Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Starting in 2009, he became an apprentice of Karin Dessag in Paris.
There he did a year's fulltime course to master all possible shapes,
from espresso cups to garden vase.

Glazing he learned from Marc Uzan.
In Le Mans (also in France) he learned a technique for structural glazing research,
to get these glazes exactly how they are wanted.

Since 2011 J.C. HERMAN Ceramics opened it's doors,
where all works by Herman Verhagen are sold in the shop that is connected to the studio.
Also series for other shops are being produced here,
as well as private orders and commands of companies. (photocredits: Mimi Berlin)
