* 1980, Gorinchem
Josja Caecilia Schepman (1980, Gorinchem, Netherlands) studied free design at the art academy of Utrecht, Netherlands. After her graduation in 2006 she started working in glass studio De Oude Horn where she has worked until today and where she is learning the trade of glassblowing from Bernard Heesen.
Her work can be characterized as free, unconstrained and varied, it is always imaginative and in a way naive and it is what it is: what you see is what you get.
