Welcome to L’Atelier de la Terre Ronde

Some encounters are more important than others, and mine with clay is one of them. Initially, I had to tame the material, learning from other potters and over time in the intimacy of my studio.

Under my hands, clay gradually allowed itself to be tamed. Using an ancestral technique known as “Raku”, I shaped my dreams. The surprises of thermal shock have never ceased to help me evolve. My path, then, has been punctuated by exhibitions, art fairs and precious, rich and creative encounters.

THE RAKU

Raku is a particular Asian technique that I use. It is based on a rapid second firing followed by a thermal shock obtained by depositing the pieces in a bath of wood shavings. The pieces ignite and the molten glaze takes on a crackled appearance.

RAKU” means happiness in chance.
