Could you tell us a little bit more about yourself and what made you start the business? 

 

I studied architecture in France at the ENSA Normandie and graduated with my masters degree in 2014. Following my graduation, I moved to the UK and settled in Glasgow where I worked as a visualisation artist for a couple of years before taking a career break. I eventually realised that working in an office environment and seating in front of a screen all day wasn’t for me. That’s when I started to work in cafés and shops, jumping from one job to another - I was really unfulfilled and felt like I was in a dead-end. In the summer of 2018, I joined a pottery workshop and threw my first pots.

 

I liked working with my hands and decided to rent a small space at my local studio to practice a little more regularly. At that time pottery was just a hobby but it quickly became an obsession which led me to set up my own studio in early 2019. When I first started out, I was working two part-time jobs in a shop and a café. After a few months, I couldn’t bare working odd jobs anymore so I took the decision to work full-time in the studio and share my journey on Instagram where I sold my first pieces. At some point, sales started to pick up so I created a website with a small shop section. Last summer, I started to receive enquiries from shops and small restaurants which helped me get where I am now.

What inspires your work? 

 

As a potter, I mainly focus on tableware though I also enjoy making one-off and decorative pieces. My work suggests a minimal approach to pottery, characterised by clean lines and subtle colours. I always work with restraint and favour simple processes, embracing the natural beauty of materials.

 

 
What is the most important thing for you in your business?

​

The most important thing for me is to stay away from trends and aim to make honest pieces that reflect my convictions and who I am.

 

A little story or an anecdote you would like to share?

I enjoy my solitude very much but I could do with a studio dog!
