Eekta Trienekens: White Raku Box

About The Artist

Eekta Trienekens

Eekta Trienekens grew up in the Netherlands and lived in the medieval cities of Amersfoort and Leiden before moving to Canada a little over a decade ago. Her mother is from Punjab, India, and Eekta spent many seasons there for extended visits with her grandparents. The extreme contrast between these two worlds is a strong influence in her work, oscillating between a sense of belonging and otherness. She has a degree in Arts Education (Utrecht) and South Asian Studies (Leiden). Though Eekta works in a variety of materials, ceramics has been her main artistic practice since 2015.

Since fall 2015, she has been spending most of her available time in the potters studio. She's so grateful to have this opportunity as a member of the wonderful community of the Waterloo Potters Workshop. Each and every day she am learning and enjoying the many processes and techniques that come with working with clay.
