This work arose during my work stay in Drenthe NL, October 2021.
October, the season of change. Trees slowly drop their fruits and leaves. I see a Flemish jay busy collecting and hiding its winter stock.
What about my winter stock? For my ancestors, it was vital to take their winter supplies off the land and store them safely in order to get through the winter. To be stored in Cologne pots, to be stored in weck bottles.
Which brings me to a personal version: I make pots and bowls to preserve this year's fruits. They are made of wool, a traditionally naturally available material. To store what summer has given and thus be able to get through the winter.
