Production

"Attracted by the raw materials, I recover my clays in the quarries to keep their richness. Prepare my earth, leaving or removing their sands, pebbles. A raw earth which after cooking will reveal all its imperfections. The production is entirely based on utility and small decorative series. I work on the form, the accuracy, the spontaneity of the turning or so I come to cut facets in the pieces to create landscapes. The pieces are for the most part covered white magnesian enamel and baked in an electric oven at 1270° or in wood in a phoenix oven at 1320°. I like to work around this white enamel.”
