This week the Contemporary Circle were able to visit the home of Bouke de Vries a man of many, many talents. Training originally as a milliner he worked with Stephen Jones and John Galliano. He then re-trained as a ceramics restorer and has restored historical and contemporary works for museums and private collections all over the world.
A couple of years ago he began to create his own works out of unwanted or broken ceramics and his career has exploded. He's featuring in exhibitions all over the world and collaborating with fashion and jewellery designers. We were lucky enough to visit his studio and home to see his work in practice but also his amazing art collection.
