The biggest sale I’ve ever offered is launching in just 24 hours... and I’ve barely told you about it! 🤯🙊

As part of a fresh start in my new studio, I’m hosting a Studio Reset Sale. The webshop will open on February 15th at 8 PM CET (omg, that’s tomorrow already!).

Over time, I’ve set aside pieces that didn’t quite meet my usual standards, along with some extra stock I’d love to clear out. Since everything I create is HANDMADE, even my regular pieces have slight variations—like warping or glaze quirks. But the ones in this sale have a bit more personality than usual. Perfectly functional, totally unique, and now 50% off.

What you need to know to shop:
☀️ Sale starts: February 15th, 2025, at 8 PM CET

Can’t wait to see who these special pieces go home with! ♥️

Any questions?

Well, hello from the new studio! 🎉

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of wrapping, packing, moving, lifting, unboxing, and finding a new home for every single thing I own. But it’s finally starting to come together! The new space is gorgeous, and I couldn’t be more excited for summer.

If you know me, you’ll know that if I could make a living from canoeing, I’d swap clay for paddles in a heartbeat. So, being located along the water feels like a dream. I can already picture those long summer evenings canoeing through the beautiful city center of Amersfoort. 🌅🚣‍♀️

As for the studio itself, while most of the chaos is kind of under control, there’s still a lot to figure out—like where the power sockets for the kilns should go and the perfect spot for a designated “dusty zone.” My brain seems to have decided it’s done with decision-making, so I’m giving myself a little grace and taking things slow for now. ♥️

If you ask me where it all began, I’d say it was a little over six years ago, as I was finishing design school. But if you ask me to look deeper, I’d tell you it started much earlier—during moments spent immersed in nature, where I fell into the experience of beauty. In those moments, there was a profound stillness, both within and around me. Everything seemed to glow, as if every shape and texture carried a vibrant radiance. Each nuance of shape, color and texture existed in perfect harmony, revealing the quiet power that emanates even from the most fragile leaf or twig. Grace of Glaze is the embodiment of that experience—a celebration of the vivid energy, the silence, and the deep connection to beauty that first inspired me. 🌟

It’s been over six weeks since I last touched clay, and wow, do I feel it. There’s just something so satisfying about the whole process—transforming luscious, chocolatey liquid porcelain into a cup, bowl, or plate. I can’t wait to move into my new studio next week. 🎈

Yes, custom colors are cool, but don’t forget about the core collection.✨ These six thoughtfully curated shades—Midnight, Noon, Magnolia, Marigold, Lime, and Berry—each bring their own unique charm.🌟 They’re designed to mix and match effortlessly, allowing you to create a home collection that’s unapologetically you. Available online now ☀️

Hosting season is here—are you prepped or starting to panic? Now’s the time to grab that bowl or those plates for a gorgeous Thanksgiving table, or that Christmas gift your partner has definitely dropped hints about. With the holiday shipping rush in full swing, deliveries might take longer (don’t say I didn’t warn you!). 🎁

After leaving the warmth of Dubai, I stepped straight into autumn—my favorite season🍁🍂. Normally, this time of year finds me busy making cups for your Christmas gifts or finalizing table settings for holiday dinners. This year, however, is a little different as I’m waiting to receive the keys to my new studio. I’m shipping out what’s still in stock, but some items are starting to run low. So, if you want to make your Thanksgiving table extra special, now is the perfect time to place your order! 💝

Here’s some inspiration to combine the Midnight, Berry and Marigold colorways. Any color doubts? Shoot me a message and I’ll help you out ♥️🌟

Life’s been quite the whirlwind lately! Three weeks ago, I moved out of my studio. Then, I spent the last two weeks in Dubai, showcasing my work at @downtowndesignd —what an adventure! Here’s a quick sneak peek into my trip. My goal was to learn, push myself out of my comfort zone, and, wow, did I feel it! Normally, I don’t get to see who enjoys my work or where my pieces end up, so meeting you, seeing that sparkle in your eyes, and hearing about projects my work could fit into was such a joy. 🌟

Today, I spent the day packing up orders and responding to emails about stock availability. Well, that’s the thing—items are running out, and unfortunately, I can’t make any new pieces in time for Christmas. I’ll get the keys to my new studio in two weeks and will start making the space functional asap.

So here’s my tip: if you’ve been eyeing something, grab it now before it’s gone—because once it’s out, it’s out for the rest of the year.

Hi there, I’m Simone, the creative force behind @graceofglaze . I have a fascination with materials and their possibilities. My design process is all about experimenting to bring out their true vibrancy, with color at its core. I value artisanal, small-scale production and the nuances it brings. With time, patience and care, even something as simple as a cup, bowl or plate becomes a small yet powerful invitation to pause, notice and savor beauty in everyday life.

To me, design is about creating that spark of wonder, allowing you to reconnect with the tactile and visual pleasure of well-made things.

Dismantling my studio less than a year after building it was the last thing I expected this year. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of final kiln firings and packing up, and I’m so relieved to be moving on. The challenges with the space and its owner brought constant stress and frustration, and packing up feels like a step backward—especially after all the effort that went into setting it up.

I’m eager to gather a team of skilled hands and watch Grace of Glaze flourish, though a bit more patience is needed to let it all unfold.

I’ll be moving into a new studio in December, but first—Dubai! I’m thrilled to showcase my work as part of the Dutch Collective at @downtowndesignd together with @femm_amsterdam @marikeandeweg @milla_novo_ @sinadyks @jessevisserdesignprojects and @eva_hendriks_art , curated by @organisationindesign . Come visit us at booth D4!

Wait for it! Trimming is all about refining the edges and surfaces—a meticulous and essential step in crafting porcelain dinnerware, but also a rewarding one. Today, I headed to the studio specifically to trim these small samples and prepare for the final bisque firing of the year. I’ve made so many new color samples this year, but I still need a few more for my upcoming trip to @downtowndesignd in Dubai in a few weeks.🌟

I never expected to move into this studio only to leave within a year, yet here I am. Over the past year, there have been ongoing issues with the space, and the landlord’s unwillingness to address them made it clear that finding a new studio was the right choice. The new space is AMAZING—honestly, a dream! It’s exceeding all my wildest dreams, and I can’t wait to show it to you! 🌟

I’ll be clearing out this studio by the end of the month, which means I’m firing the last kilns of the YEAR this week🤯. Omg, this is keeping me up at night!🙈 I’m doing my best to make more Magnolia and Berry bowls since they’ve already sold out. But don’t worry, I’m sure there’s still time for you to find something special before the rest of the stock runs out. So, if you’re eyeing any favorite pieces, now’s the perfect time to grab them before they’re gone! 💖

Here are just a few of the colors I’m bringing to Dubai in November ☀️

Come and visit me at @downtowndesignd during @dubaidesignweek 👋

So many custom colors coming out of the kiln! I’m creating a few unique collections to bring to @downtowndesignd during @dubaidesignweek . As a visual person, it’s surprisingly challenging for me to picture the final presentation, which is why I’m doing a mock setup. Making the last tweaks before everything ships out next week!

This exclusive collection is back on auction! It features a dinnerware set of 6 dinner plates, deep plates, and bowls. The colors are inspired by an Emile Galle vase. This dinnerware set seamlessly blends the deep hues of winter blues with the warm, vibrant colors of summer.

Excitingly, there is no reserve price, so it can be yours at any price, as long as you’re the highest bidder. ☀️ This auction closes the 13th of october. Place your bid through the link in bio.

This autumn sun is making all the colors sparkle 😍✨ The kilns are working overtime for pieces I’m bringing to Dubai. Every color you see here is coming to life as we speak.

Phieeuw, okay, so these past few weeks have been a series of unfortunate events... Moving out of this studio definitely wasn’t on my vision board for the year, but here we are. This month, it’s happening. 😅 Juggling Dubai Design Week prep while packing up (sooo much stuff) isn’t exactly my dream scenario, but I’ll try to make the best of it, I guess! Oh, and by the way, anyone looking to buy a giant greenhouse near Utrecht? It’s not coming to the new studio—message me for details!

The most inspiring season of the year is here. As the days grow shorter, golden light floods my studio.

Featuring a golden yellow dinner plate paired with a Midnight bowl, this dinnerware collection embodies bold elegance. Swipe to see the samples! As I prepare for my stay in Dubai for @downtowndesignd , I’m excited to showcase a series of color collections, each creating a distinct atmosphere. I look forward to connecting with hospitality professionals seeking modern craftsmanship to elevate their guests’ experience. Will I see you there?

I’ll be exhibiting as the #dutchcollective together with @eva_hendriks_art , @jessevisserdesignprojects , @sinadyks , @milla_novo_ and @femm_amsterdam which is curated by @organisationindesign and supported by @nlinuae 🔥

Are you vibing with blue, craving some green, or feeling that purple passion? @graceofglaze is a blend of flaunting your unique personality while exuding quiet elegance.
