A 1985 exhibition brochure summarized, that "in her free plastic forms she wants above all to express the essence of the primordial matter. In order to show the strength and vitality of the clay, therefore, they do not use a glaze... she works with pottery clay and forms with a quick twist technique. She bakes in an electric furnace to 1020 degrees." [4]

The Princessehof Ceramics Museum is a museum of ceramics in the city of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. The museum's name comes from one of two buildings in which it is housed: a small palace built in 1693 and later occupied by Marie Louise, dowager Princess of Orange. The other annexed building is the Papinga stins, a former stronghold from the 15th century. The museum buildings are of interest, and so are its collection of tiles, pottery, and ceramic sculpture.
