Inaugural Exhibition
Claudy Jongstra
March 13 - June 5, 2025
Claudy Jongstra
Claudy Jongstra’s studio works as a completely sustainable art practice and has done so for over 30 years. The studios are located close to the biodynamic farm that Claudy runs together with her partner Claudia Busson in the Netherlands. All materials the studio works with are 100% natural, sourced from regenerative farms. All pigments are non-toxic and of the highest quality.
The studio & small holding operate completely autonomously and play an important role in connecting rural communities with an international educational network.
In Claudy’s words: “My works of art not only provide an aesthetic experience, they also carry an additional layer of sophistication and tactility to the spaces they occupy. The organic woolen fibers and the wholesome palette of pigments from ancient dyer crops have comforting, soothing and acoustic properties. Every assignment that I can realize, and every project created in my artistic practice also contribute to my alternative goals, focusing on regenerative agriculture, enhancement of biodiversity and the transfer of knowledge and technical experience to younger generations of artists, artisans, architects and farmers.”
Claudy Jongstra’s website gives an extensive insight into the working practice and mission.
About et galerie
et galerie is a space dedicated to the intersection of architecture, art, and craft. Inspired by decades of thoughtful design practice and collaboration with artists, LUCE et studio established et galerie as a curated collection of objects, furniture, and artworks that hold meaningful narratives. et galerie is honored to showcase exceptional artists selected for their profound ability to weave stories of craft, culture, and human connection into their work.
Jennifer Luce, founder, has been collecting the works of designers, craftspeople, makers and artists since the inception of the studio in 1990. A fascination for materials, methods, and cultural traditions has led to a collection of works that blur the boundaries of traditional arts. The studio’s transformation of Mingei International Museum (2021) marked a pivotal moment in its evolution and planted the seed for et galerie – a place to celebrate and elevate the stories behind design within the unique exhibition context of the architect’s studio.
