Atelier
y studio is in Brittany, inside an old school in the village of Saint-Suliac. The building is part of a public initiative called Le Grand Banc, and I share the space with other makers and entrepreneurs gathered under the collective MULTI. Most of the photos on this site and on Instagram are by my partner, Jonathan Mauloubier.
My happy place is at the workbench. I sit there, making, with a view onto the wasteland of the old factory where we live and work. It's green, the birds are singing, and so is my heart.
Everything I make is hand-built from slabs. No wheel. Just my two hands and whatever is in my head that day.
The studio is small and south-facing. What makes it work is the people: friends and colleagues, just through the wall.
The Sunset in "La Calle" are amazing
Each cycle follows the same arc: hand building, firing, glazing, and a drop. Then back to the start.
lazed pieces, ready to make the trip. My kilns are outside the studio, one stair below... which is exactly why a rack on wheels is non-negotiable.
Lunches on the beach are also non-negociable when the weather is nice.
Always the rack. Bone dry pieces lined up, waiting for the first firing at 950°C.
Breaks here have their own flavor. The kind that comes with an affogato and a beautiful view.
