About

 

Atelier van Schaijck is the ceramic practice of Margreet van Schaijck, a part-time studio built around full-time creativity.

I'm a strategist at a sustainability consultancy by day, a mom always, and a ceramic artist in the in-between. I discovered clay during a period of overwhelm, when I was craving something grounding and screen-free. What started as a quiet escape quickly became a deep, ongoing passion to create with my hands.

I began with handbuilding and soon found my way to the pottery wheel — a place that demanded full focus and offered a rare kind of calm. As anyone who’s ever thrown knows: one moment of distraction, and gravity will remind you who’s in charge.

Today, I combine both techniques to create a mix of functional objects: tableware, vases, lamps and more sculptural pieces. I work from my garden studio and release a small batch of new work every 6–8 weeks. Each collection is a reflection of that moment: a mix of familiar forms and new experiments, shaped by whatever time and inspiration allow.

This practice continues to bring me joy, balance, and connection and I’m so grateful to share it with you.

Thanks for being here.
