French ceramicist, I now live in Valencia, Spain. I began learning ceramics in 2007 in Shenzhen, China. My first teacher didn’t speak English, he taught me the essentials silently, with his hands, until I finally speak enough Chinese. After eight years in Asia, I moved to San Francisco for three years, exploring materials, forms, and paths to personal expression. I became a full time ceramicist at that time. I have always written on my vessels with clay slip, but the tools I used at first were not allowing me to write long texts. In 2020 I developed a system that allows me to write longer texts with the desired texture, opening many creative possibilities.
