Do you want to be in my next book?

Next year I'll publish an updated version of my Dutch book 'saggar firing in an electric kiln'. It will have extra information and new photo's.

If you have the book, you know that it contains also pieces from people that followed my workshop. In the new version I want to replace those with pieces from people that has made work following the instructions in my book.

So if you want to be in my next book, send a good photo of your best piece to ceramics@jolandavandegrint.com 

Also provide the information about your work as on page 86-89 of my (English) book.

Later on the new edition will probably also be translated in English.
