Our Story

We, Frank Theunissen and Elly Verhoeven, have been organising ceramics courses in Cordes-sur-Ciel since 2000 under the name of La Céramique.

We offer fully organized courses with Frank as a teacher or with other experienced, professional ceramists as guest teachers. During the courses, Elly takes care of the culinary delights.

 Frank worked from 1979 as a ceramist in Milsbeek (North Limburg, Netherlands). He exhibited at all the important ceramic markets in Europe. Since 2000, he concentrated entirely on giving and organising courses in Cordes-sur-Ciel and in the pottery village La Borne. He is one of the founders of the ceramic manifestation Keramisto and is still a member of the dutch “Noord-Limburgs Pottenbakkers Collectief.”


 


     Jet, Frank, Elly, Loes

Frank and Elly started La Céramique many years ago, as mentioned above. In recent years, their daughters Jet and Loes have increasingly become involved in the business, and it is gradually evolving into a family-run enterprise. 

Jet and Loes share the same passion for ceramics as their parents, and they will be taking over responsibilities during certain weeks. 

These weeks are listed on the agenda page.
