“In my childhood I met the mysterious world of some potters in the middle of a magical forest in Brittany, it was very romantic to me, it looked like the perfect life. Later, while I was a student in Art History in Bordeaux, France, I studied the history of ceramics and did a memoir on the techniques of Bernard Palissy, a famous French ceramicist from the 16th century. So I always have had an interest in ceramics but it was only when I went to the USA that I finally put my hands at work with this wonderful material called CLAY”.
