Vicky Courtens

Vicky Courtens was born on April 29, 1974 in the city of Roeselare, Belgium. She holds a nursing degree and is a self-taught ceramist. Courtens started her own ceramics design laboratory in 2017. She uses computer technology to design prototypes and finishes off her pieces through traditional artisanal production methods. Her work consists of durable and timeless designs that are all handmade and thus very unique. The artist surprises the beholder with fun and eye-catching ceramic pieces that invite to take a closer look. Vicky is mainly inspired by nature, as well as man-made objects that can be found in nature, landmarks like breakwaters, towers, buoys … that alter the horizon’s otherwise flat surface.
