Clay is cool 3.

This morning I visited Peter Tomesen, who was Marlies' partner for many years and has always remained her friend. 

Not only does Peter have many wonderful stories about Marlies, he also has a collection of photos that capture Marlies and the Breda art scene at that time beautifully.  

The photos are striking because of the sheer joy of life they radiate, and because they show how close Marlies was to her fellow ceramicists, Annerie Teuling and Tjitske Dijkstra. 

As a preview, I am allowed to show readers of this blog these two photos of Marlies with Annerie and Tjitske, and two great portraits of Marlies.

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful material, Peter.
