tell me your social media opinion without telling me

The last parcels from my spring sale are leaving the studio today, and I’m finally taking a quiet moment to reflect on these past days. I’m still amazed by how this sale unfolded — I don’t quite have the words to describe the mix of gratitude and relief I felt when it launched…

your past self would be proud that you learned being honest

It’s the big day! The online shop reopens this evening with an entirely new collection. This moment marks the end of several months of exploration, of new directions and desires.…

Over the last few days, firings have been coming thick and fast in the studio, and at the same time I’ve been continuing my glazing marathon to finish the new pieces for the next collection.…

I couldn’t resist going to the studio yesterday afternoon. Malo had gone out with her dad for a walk-and-nap, the weather was beautiful, and I knew the kiln had cooled enough to open. This is the first glaze firing in a long series, leading up to a new collection next month.…

The last time I posted on this feed was last year. Now, it’s already February, and January has come and gone. January is a very special month for my studio — and perhaps for many others?…

After an extra day yesterday to send out the last few parcels, I am officially closing the studio for my first proper holiday of the year — better late than never!…

It’s still a mad rush at the studio — not getting easier with my turn being sick and some chaotic toddler nights — but I’m finally taking a moment this morning to say two things.…

The final stages of making a new treasure box. After throwing and turning them, they go through an first firing at 980°C. Once they come out of the kiln, I wax the underside and the two parts that fit together so that the glaze doesn’t stick.…

The online shop will be updated with a collection of new pieces tomorrow at 7pm French time. The overall is the result of several months of reflection on my personal approach to pottery and throwing, the materials I use and the character I want my pieces to express.…

One of my favourite pieces at the end of this year. A small box, made from a mixture of stoneware, sand, chamotte and crushed rocks, hand-dipped in a simple matt glaze without oxides. It reflects what I wanted to do for the last collection of the year.…

A quick post to share some news, but above all to thank you for your many visits last weekend during our annual seconds sale. I don’t often open my doors for studio sales, but the joy of doing so is the same every time.…

Summer at the studio is coming to an end. It has been a special, intense summer, filled with long weeks of work, and yet it will leave me with a fleeting impression, as it has passed so quickly.…
