The European Ceramic Work Centre, based in the Netherlands, is an international workplace where artists, designers and architects explore the technical and artistic possibilities of ceramics. The EKWC operates as an artist-in-residence centre and as a centre of excellence. Its aim is to promote the development of ceramic art, design and architecture. Anton Reijnders graduated from the Fine art Academy in 's-Hertogenbosh in 1981. Since then, he has taken part in exhibitions throughout the world, contributed to conferences and symposia and given lectures in Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA. He has contributed to the creation of the European Ceramic Work Center 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands where, as head of studios and workshops, he has worked with international artists. He has been visiting professor at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and currently teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (BFA) in Amsterdam.
