A la fortune du pot
This old expression refers to the traditional family meal recipient, a ceramic pot, of the 18th century in France. A recipient for a simple, honest, daily meal without ceremony. The current pots were created in a Minimalist spirit from left-over clay. They are simple, honest and solid. They can be used to hold kitchen utensils or as flower vases. Every pot has its lid made by hand. Some lids fit different pots : Find the one you like best !
Ceramic Landscapes
“I live surrounded by a wild landscape of cliffs forever crumbling into the sea, revealing layers of colorful earth, stones, vestiges of ruined houses, fossils and uprooted trees. A landscape that changes daily, swept by winds and sea tides, a unique environment that forbids man to settle in it permanently. We can only pass by at low tide and observe the ballet of birds in the sky. This is the environment that inspires me most. I create utilitarian objects that are, however, also evocations of nature and landscape, that associate clay with the curious objects found or seen on this wonderful beach in perpetual flux.”
