About Me
I am fascinated by arts and crafts. I love making, creating, telling stories.
I discovered ceramics through an internship while I was studying applied arts at University. I was immediately fascinated by this medium and loved the idea of making something, almost from scratch. Something functional, something people could use, but also something unique. Ever since, I have never stopped learning new techniques and experimenting with colours and textures. I have been lucky to meet some amazing ceramists: Stéphanie Dastugue, Marie-Pierre Aubert of Marie Pot' and Sylvie Coquet of Feelings were the ones who taught me lots when I was new to ceramics.
When I don't create, I take pictures. When I go on a hike, when I travel, when the weather is beautiful and I'm commuting to work, I carry my camera. I try to take time to look around me, to notice the light, the colours, the textures and all the details. I have been taking photos for a long time but a project for a friend triggered my interest in details. It challenged me and my technique, allowing me to make progress but also to view my surroundings in a different way.
At University, I was lucky to study colours. How to combine them, what they mean, how to create a specific atmosphere with colours. This matters a lot to me because it taught me that colours are essential, that they can tell stories. When making ceramics, I try to picture how a particular piece will be used and choose the right colours so that it fits well within its environment, using the colours to capture the light and make the pieces stand out.
I am originally from Southern France and travelled for a few years, exploring the world. After spending a couple years in British Columbia and another two years and a bit in Tokyo, I am now living in Wellington (NZ).
