Why two ceramic productions per year?

Anne et la tasse Brume de Rosée

For almost six years now, I have been enjoying my retirement from teaching visual arts at the secondary level. Today, I create at my own pace, in my home studio, where I devote myself mainly to painting and ceramics.

Making ceramics by hand is a deep passion… but it’s an art that requires time .

Before even turning on the oven, I need to shape enough pieces to fill it properly. A well-balanced batch allows for more even baking and more responsible use of electricity.

Each stoneware production demands patience and precision: a complete drying time, followed by two firings—bisque and vitrification. The decoration is meticulously applied by brush, with three layers of glaze per piece, each requiring its own drying time. Added to this are the tests, color samples, packaging, shipping, content creation, and online store management.

It could easily be a full-time job… but precisely, I'm retired. And I want to maintain this balance.

That's why I've chosen to operate differently: I will now produce two large batches per year—in March and October—each comprising several runs. The pieces will then be available in my online shop until stocks last.

This rhythm allows me to create with pleasure, without pressure, and to devote time to my second passion: painting.

My pieces are always produced in limited quantities. If one of them calls to you, you'll have to be there when it's available.
