I have a passion for creating... I chose to become a ceramist for the freedom it gives me, both in my personal life and in my creativity. Clay is my preferred medium. It carries in its memory every gesture I make. Thanks to it, I can leave my personal imprint on every object I create. I love all the rituals surrounding food and eating, and my objects are inspired by my experience and daily life. The choice of utilitarian pottery is therefore essential. I produce tableware that I love to use every day. Each piece is unique, colored with slip and meticulously engraved one by one. This year, I've focused on making gratin dishes, small salad bowls and a few tea bowls and mugs. Over the months, the decoration of my pieces has been inspired by the colors of each season. So, on my table, you'll find ceramics in the colors of autumn, more pastel tones for spring, bowls and cups with leaf motifs for summer, and a few white winter decorations with bare branches.
I always feel a deep joy and pleasure in turning, shaping and assembling clay in the studio. In addition to utilitarian production, I always have one or two one-off pieces in progress that allow me to seek a more sculptural aspect to the container.
I take great care in the manufacture of each object, so that the people who buy them can use them safely in their everyday lives. They in turn transform them by integrating them into their lives.
