My pieces are hand-thrown using a red earthenware clay. 

That beautiful red clay is extrated from quarries in Salernes (Provence). It is usually used for traditional terracotta floor tiles.

 

The decoration is applied as a thin wash, using colorants and oxydes dissolved in a white slip.

 

 

 

I draw my designs directly on a pot using different brushes and i engrave the outlines with a sharp bamboo tool .

 

This is followed by two firings. First firing at 980°C, the second one at 1100°C after glazing the pieces in a transparent leadless glaze.

The coloured décoration is empathised by  the smooth shiny glazed surface.
