Studio & Shop

Studio

Very cental in Amsterdam, just behind the Dam and the Krasnapolsky Hotel, you will find the studio and shop of J.C. HERMAN Pottery.

Through the glass doors in the back, the studio is visible.
Basic ingredient in the studio is the potter's wheel, where all the work is made ('thrown' as it is called). This is why all the work of J.C. HERMAN is round.

On the shelves behind the wheel, work is drying to be finished later.
Also there is clay, a working table, buckets with glaze et cetera.
Not in view is the kiln and shelves full of half-products.
This is unglazed ceramics that has been fired but not glazed; it is called 'biscuit'.
Furthermore there's a lot of chemical basic ingredients to mix glazes.


Shop

The shop of J.C. HERMAN Pottery is very easily accessible by bike, car and public transport.
A 5 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, 1 minute from the Dam (where almost all trams pass) and opposite of the public parking of Hotel Krasnapolsky (4 euros per hour).

The collection changes on weekly basis, because a lot of products are one-off (vases, bowls and pots).
When something is sold, it is replaced by something else.
Dinner sets and crockery on the contrary, is produced in series. In that way you can always re-order cups or plates.

You will always be helped professionaly by no one less than the producer of all the ceramics.
In the shop you can pay by Credit Card (and cash of course).
