Next week ! - Studio sale. Friday 21th, 17h-21h. Saturday 22th, 11h-18h - 57 rue Rébeval 75019 Paris -
New clay, new glaze research. - Recently I had troubles with the stoneware I use. One type of plates is concerned, 120 large plates to substitute as soon as possible. Upsetting enough to take the decision to change our clay to prevent another misfortune. That means new firing temperatures and new glazes - most of our curent glazes won't fit with the new stoneware and the 10 degrees firing variation. Quite a violent change to manage in the next months, although an interesting one. Difficulty, failure and fatigue are not always noticeable through Instagram but, as in any other job, they are often part of our daily potter life. Hopefully they don't damage the enthousiasm to practice this craft everyday.
