Céline Gauthier Céramique
My work consists of modeling, stamping, turning, engraving, drawing, with stoneware, porcelain and earthenware through multiple forms: paintings, spherical objects and other objects at the border between decoration and utility.
My playground revolves around three materials: porcelain, stoneware and earthenware, which I use to shape paintings, cosmic spheres, bowls, boxes and other objects on the borderline between the decorative and the utilitarian. For each of my pieces, whether unique or created in small series, the meticulous work of decoration plays a major role: composing and painting on raw clay using engobes and custom-made tools. On the surface of these objects, a whole world unfolds: the passage of clouds, the wind stirring up grasses or figures evaporating in the mountains: an invitation to the landscape.
In my studio, I regularly offer 3-hour ceramic creation sessions. Open to all levels, they take place in small groups (5 maximum) to introduce you to or perfect your modelling skills, using different techniques such as stamping, slabbing and pinching. Your creations are then glazed and fired by me before being returned to you 3 weeks later. So come and enjoy a creative & convivial interlude to realize your own unique project!
