Tea-pot
This teapot is made from a black clay containing a lot of chamottes, which gives that grainy effect (accentuated by sanding). Its spout, lid and container are made from Hand-Building Slab Pottery. To round off the contents, I mounted a thick, cylinder-shaped piece of earth and beat it around the edges. This process is inspired by the Yixing technique. The handle is a columbine. When cooking it cracked so I tied a thin neon cord to hide the flaw. The inside of the teapot is covered with transparent enamel, the outside remains raw.

This other teapot is made from red clay and the columbine technique. It is enameled on the inside with a clear enamel. Its handle is made of wire and a neon green cord.

Vase
Here is a ceramic vase created using the columbine technique, then deformed by pinching the hand. The top is enameled with enamel with a melon color.

Experiments
These two ceramics are obtained by casting earthenware in a plaster mold. This one holds its shape of a pear. I wanted to explore the alliance of materials by linking their enamelled and smooth surface to woven or embroidered threads and glued beads and sequins.

Coffee cups
These coffee cups were made in the lathe. They were then enameled with cobalt blue and transparent enamel.
