Linda de Nil

Linda De Nil was born in 1959 in Merchtem, near Brussels, Belgium, where she set up a pottery studio with the name BLAUZUUR. Attached to the house and the studio there’s a small gallery. During her childhood in the countryside she became intrigued by the enormous brick kilns that were set afire in the fields nearby. She often witnessed the kilns being built up, being fired and being dismantled. These images never left her and she became a  self-taught potter who has been firing wheel thrown stoneware and porcelain since 1994. In 1995 she built her own Anagama-kiln in order to be able to make natural ash glazed stoneware and porcelain.
