To say that the creation of pottery is an art form is to put it lightly. It is an ancient and modern functional craft - part chemistry experiment, and part art creation. How many other professions come to mind for which you must have an extensive memory of glaze combinations, chemical formulas, and elemental reactions? These complicated and meticulous calculations work in tandem with artistic ability. The potter must be able to see the end product in what otherwise is just a lump of earth, and to have the skill to form that earth into useful functional pottery to fill your cupboards, or beautiful stunning and original sculptural art.
Gorgeous casserole dishes, equally stunning serving platters, remarkable pottery dinnerware and coffee mugs designed with your sipping pleasure in mind.
These are a few of the ceramic and stoneware items that Goedele Vanhille of Yank and Flanders Pottery creates.
When these dishes are purchased you are purchasing Colorado pottery that is meticulously made with both beauty and functionality in
mind. These gorgeous works of functional handmade pottery will be lovely on |

originally Born in Eeklo, Belgium in 1961. She now lives in Norwood, CO

community, and did not land in Norwood, CO by chance. Goedele has exhibited her work extensively all over the world including Italy, New Zealand, Belgium and Germany.
Since 1979 Goedele has been engaged
in developing and perfecting her own personal style of creating
gorgeous functional pieces of handmade pottery. Since setting the

knowledge of the art of making pottery. Here some of her new works!
