Paimpont’s stoneware pottery: a tradition in Brittany

 

l'arbre aux merveilles poterie @OTBroceliande

I work stoneware and earthenware: stoneware for tableware, which I turn. Then the turned and whirled piece is enamelled with a custom-made enamel and fired up to 1,300° in order to be food safe
Decorative items, planters and tree pictures, are fashioned using a slab or modellingI also make a small collection of earthenware jewellery, enamelled with bright, vibrant colours.”
