Inspiration & stories from the Atelier
Personalizing urns on glass and ceramics
In our studio in Hapert I shape memories by processing cremation ashes in glass into unique memorial jewelry and urns.
Each piece is created with attention and craftsmanship, in which the emotion and meaning of the moment are central.
In addition to my work with glass , the operations on urns of ceramics and glass are carried out by my partner.
He specializes in sandblasting, sign foil, and photo sign foil, and has over 30 years of experience in his own advertising and lettering business.
Thanks to its precision and technical knowledge, urns can be personalized in a personal way — with a name, symbol, color accent or silhouette image that suits the loved one.
When it comes to a new design or a personal adjustment, you will receive a digital proof in advance for approval.
This creates an interplay of craft and technology: a memorial piece that is not only carefully crafted, but also meaningful in every detail.
We discuss each adjustment together, so that the result exactly matches your wishes — personally, with attention, and in harmony with the memory you want to keep.

Our company and workspace – technology and craft in one house
We have a spacious showroom, workshop and studio of 250 square meters, where all operations on glass and ceramics are prepared and carried out, and where a large stock of urns is also managed.
In this professional environment, we work with a printer, plotter, sandblaster and transfer press, together with an extensive collection of sign and photo sign films in various colors and finishes.
In addition, there are computer processing systems, cutting tables and laminating equipment, with which every design is carefully prepared, tested and finished.
All personalization and editing takes place entirely in-house , without outsourcing.
As a result, the lines of communication remain short, the communication is clear and there is plenty of room to respond to personal wishes or special adjustments.
This combination of precision equipment, craftsmanship and commitment allows designs to be executed in detail — from clean lines and small symbols to more complex graphics or names.
It is the place where technique, craft and creativity come together, and where every personal design is brought to life with attention.
We also supply our glass urns and memorial items outside the Netherlands.

Top-quality professional sign films
For processing urns and applying names, symbols or images, we only use high-quality professional films from the sign industry. We work with brands such as 3M, Avery Dennison, Orafol (Oracal), Metamark, Hexis and Mactac , among others — materials that are also used in professional advertising and vehicle lettering.
These films are distinguished by their excellent adhesion, colour fastness and weather resistance.
They are resistant to sunlight, moisture and temperature changes, so they retain their appearance even after years.
The fine cut quality and strong pigmentation ensure that every line, image or letter remains sharp and pure — just as intended.
The same quality is reflected in our photo sign foils, with which we can apply symbolic images, names or words to glass and ceramics in a sustainable way.
This way you can be sure that every processing is not only beautiful on delivery, but also retains its quality permanently.
