PORTRAIT OF THE PROFESSOR

My passion for clay: 

As a ceramic sculptor, I live and work for my art in Normandy and Paris. Both a choice and an opportunity to experiment and make unique discoveries. Each day, the magic of clay is present, for my greatest happiness. I feed myself from this wonderful experience. That is why, for the very first time, I open my Jules Verne workshop to make you experience the intensity, passion and research that are necessary to elaborate a piece, as well as the incredible satisfaction that one can get out of it.

Thanks to my personal approach and artistic professional training, I support and guide you in this unique adventure inspired by the joys of clay. I recommend you to dare play with the matter, search, try with no interruption and with no fear of making a mistake, until obtaining plastic and visual results that you will sometimes find particularly surprising. Together we will discover thousand of ways to make, create and see differently.

The magic of Raku

The oneiric dimension of the mystery that is the work of clay, fire, air and water fascinating me deeply. Rethinking the way we dream about clay. Making the invisible visible through material, texture and colors. To reach this goal, the magical raku technic was an obvious choice. I like this feeling of emergency during raku firing, where you literally have to play with fire, tame it, control it, but also submit yourself to it to give birth to my sculpture. Each time, I discover with an intense emotion the impact of the four elements on my creation. This is a unique kind of happiness that I wish to share with my students.
