GALETTES DES ROIS @lastationservice_haarlem , my charming French neighbours with a fantastic French specialty shop are making 'Galettes des Rois' for 3 Kingsday (8th of January) this week. Who gets the 'feve' is King for the day. We made a very special coin that has everything to do with the famous history of the Spaarnwouderstraat we both are located at. In the 16th century Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaar owned a shipbuilding and woodtrading company at the Houtmarkt and lived at Spaarnwouderstraat 59, where B&B @kenaushome is located these days. When Haarlem was occupied by the Spanish, Kenau lead an army of women and fought bravely! Strange enough kenau means bitch in Dutch. These days we should embrace this word again as women!!!! You can still order the galettes at www.station-service.nl (pre order only!) #galettedesrois #france #driekoningen #3kings #feves #kenau #spaarnwouderstraat #burgwal #Haarlem #haarlem105 #haarlemcityblog #haarlemmarketing #supportyourlocals #local #haarlemcity #haarlemmakers #ceramics #keramiek #keramikk #ceramique #handmade #handcrafted #craftmanship #foodoninstagram #delicious

Before I became a ceramist I just loved drawing and painting but these last 15 years it was clay clay and even more clay. Time to play around with paint again in my fathers atelier in the woods. 'Me time' , father daughter time and the first new years resolution completed. Am going to do this more often again. Mixing paint is something I perhaps love even more than mixing glazes. Trying to catch the colour of an object with paint is just magical. Painting my glazes is a challenge though! #ceramics #mugs #ceramicart #painting #art #fun #hobby #metime #fatherdaughter #beingcreative #creativity #pottery #handmade #handcrafted #paint #colours #colors
