Kris Campo first encountered clay when she took a pottery course as a teenager. “From the beginning, I was very inspired by the feel of clay but also by the magic of the potter’s wheel. So I started to take several workshops in Belgium and abroad.” Italian master Antonio Lampecco, who lived in Belgium, taught her the technique of throwing pots, passing on his love of clay and craftsmanship in the process. After leaving school, Kris studied ceramics at art school in Antwerp, where she first heard this craft spoken of “as an art, as a medium to express yourself,” she says. After that “it became very important to me to create an individual language through clay.”
