Who I am

My name is Ingrid Vermulst. I’m Dutch, live at the moment in Spain and I spend my days with hands in clay.

I studied interior design at Insenia Design School in Madrid. Which means I don’t just make objects. I think in spaces. In proportion, atmosphere and the way things relate to another in a room.

Before I became a ceramist , I ran a hotel in the Netherlands and I still have a cooking studio there. I know what it means to create a space where people feel something. How important it is that a space feels comfortable and welcoming. Like home.

Daarom maak ik wat ik maak. Interieur keramiek. 

Ik geloof in anders. In iets anders. In keuzes. Ik geloof niet dat alles hetzelfde moet zijn. Wees anders. Maar dat is niet makkelijk. 

My objects are designed to stay interesting. To make choices. To stay for years. To relate to nature. 

Each piece is handmade in my studio in Spain. No moulds. No fast solutions. Inspired by the Mediterranean sea, surrounded by olive and almond trees. Each surface carries the mark of how it was made, and that’s exactly what it differs from other objects. My objects is more than clay, water and fire. It’s a dialogue with you. In forms, shapes and materials. A language about earth, rhythm and ancient processes. A communication about the time we live in and how I think about it. I try to communicatie in shapes and symbols and make objects that create a feeling of belonging.
