Anne Perneel opened her own independent ceramics shop in Bruges in 1985. She produces a wide range of ceramics, focusing on high fired tableware for daily use. The majority of her work is created on the turntable and rectangular press-moulded dishes. Westerwald clay is fired in an electric kiln at 1250°C degrees to produce sturdy, good quality pots, plates, dishes, mugs, etc. . The decorations are mostly slip trailed, covered with a feldspar glaze or an ash glaze which both give a nice smooth surface and colour the slips to rich effect. Furthermore, Anne often uses painted and wax resistant decoration on her work: several applications of different glazes with wax drawings give a wide range of collars and several patterns.
