Introduction
Name: Ester du Toit (1972)
In the Netherlands since January 2020
Artistic fields: Art, ceramics and various crafts
In the hot Northern Cape of South Africa I taught myself ceramics and spent most of my time perfecting and experimenting with my craft. From my studio, Earth Art (eARTh) I gave ceramics lessons for almost 10 years.
About 5 years ago I started attending art classes. I had the privilege of attending a number of the workshops done by well known SA artist, Ina van Schalkwyk. I draw, paint and experiment with various combinations of media, but I always attempt to keep the solid principles of color theory and composition in view.
Although I have been giving painting all my attention for the past 3 years, it is my hope to continue in both fields here in the Netherlands. I intend to work towards a way of integrating my ceramics and art into a unity of expression.
Thank you for showing interest in my work, I hope it brings you joy!
