Based in Amsterdam, Imme Laure Kievit finds beauty in slowing down. A ceramic artist who also cherishes yoga, traveling, and moments of calm, she is drawn to the grounding nature of clay. For her, ceramics is not only about creating with her hands, but about being fully present — an art form that connects her to the earth and its elements.
“I have always been very creative, and I love making work with my hands; I also work a lot with textiles. But what drew me most to ceramics is that it is so intertwined with the earth and the elements. It is also an art practice that really requires you to be focused on one thing at a time. Working with clay allows me to be truly in the moment and challenges me in ways other art practices haven’t.”
