Inspiration from Delft pottery


A painting by Kat - acrylic and wax

Printed material stretched as canvas then worked with wax
and gold transfer paper and acrylic.

Delft pottery comes from Delft in Holland. It's usually only blue and white and was made in proliferation in the 16th century. It was spread all over by the VOC (or Dutch East India Company).
