Oerol 2023

ZandScheppers

— Across Terschelling

At the 2017 Oerol Festival, we launched our project ‘To See a World in a Grain of Sand’. At Oerol 2023, we shared stories of sand through a choreography developed for the audience that roams throughout the landscape. Six themes — history, migration, meaning, ecology, delay and scarcity — form connections along a 500-meter trail. ‘ZandScheppers’ by Atelier NL is bound to move you.

ClayService #4

— St. Amand en Puisaye — France

Our search for characteristic local clay bodies took us to the French village Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, where potters have been making ceramics from locally sourced clay since the Middle Ages. Due to the clay’s low iron level, the new stoneware displays a beautiful creamy-caramel colour.
