Corinne de Haas

Ceramicist

Since July ’91, Corinne and a handful of dedicated staff, has made magic happen with clay in the studio workshop, at 14 Harbour Road, Kleinmond. Using a variety of clays, some custom blends, traditional and contemporary processes, we hand make all of the ceramics, infusing each item with our heart and soul.

Experimentation with texture, shape and glazes, have continued to drive Corinne to innovate. Sometimes mishaps can introduce a whole new direction of development, and that is when clay work gets really interesting.

The fluidity that comes from repetition, and the unstrained ease of the hand-making process, working on an instinctual level, is part of what you experience when picking up one of Corinne’s pieces. You can feel the spirit and consciousness of the maker is fused with the clay. This generous beauty and presence makes for a visual and tactile experience, that has ensured the tableware in her gallery stays ahead of the trend, mastering the art of handmade functional ceramics.
