It has been a long time since I have been in the northern hemisphere at this time of the year..⁠⠀
Had forgotten how one’s chin, hands, feet can hurt from the cold..⁠⠀ I haven’t posted much on Insta lately as most of you have noticed..⁠⠀
The truth is that moving back to France has been a huge adjustment, still is… ⁠⠀
I have had to put all my energy into creating a new life, organising my new home, meeting people, making new friends… getting used to be French again😄⁠⠀ It has been a bit of a lonely journey to be honest. This picture that I took recently represents somehow my journey of late..⁠⠀
Being alone, but also feeling held by something bigger somehow, while trying to stay strong, balanced… and creative.. Not being able to make ceramics for now has forced me to channel my creativity differently, so stay tuned, something is brewing..⁠⠀ I’ll share soon…⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Voilà bien longtemps que je n’avais pas été dans cette partie du monde en automne..…⁠⠀
j’avais oublié comment le froid peut faire mal au menton, aux mains🤣 …⁠⠀
Vous avez été nombreux à remarquer mon absence sur insta, et pour cause. De revenir en France après avoir vécu la majeure partie de ma vie en Australie a été un ajustement gigantesque.. c’est toute une vie que je dois récréer, toute une autre façon de vivre à laquelle je dois me réhabituer. Cette photo prise il y a quelques jours représente d'une certaine façon mon chemin ces derniers mois. Seule, mais soutenue par quelque chose de plus grand , essayant de rester forte, équilibrée.. N'ayant pas d'atelier de céramiques en ce moment j'ai du trouver une autre façon d'être créative.. ⁠⠀
Quelques fois, souvent un problème devient la source d'autres possibilités..⁠⠀
Vous en saurez plus sous peu... ⁠⠀
⁠⠀

Cherries ❤️❤️❤️
They would have to be my favorite fruit.. be it for the childhood memories they bring, like eating them on the actual tree or their almost lolly-like shape, color and flavor , not sure... but they certainly bring an excited smile to my face when I see them.. luckily summer has been long to come in France so one can still find them at markets. I love those, firm, sweet and crunchy.. I think they are called “ pigeons heart”
Been busy setting up, fixing my 🇫🇷home.. getting there but it is going to take a while to settle back after so many years in Australia.. it’s siesta time here now, after an early start I am kind of ok with a little rest 😉
On my Verdon collection, named after a river in Provence. Its color is really like that amazing Aqua ! #ceramics #pottery #clay #handmade #slow-living #backinfrance #hechamano #faitmain #foodphotography #foodstylist #foodism #foody #foodie #

SOUL SEARCHING..⠀⠀
Sometimes one needs to take time to reflect, to soul search .This is what I have been doing, hence my lack of posts lately.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Some of you know me as a ceramicist, others as a food stylist, others as something else😉 I have had many careers all involving food and creativity.⠀⠀
If any of you have creativity as a close friend you will know that it never lets you stay still.. ⠀⠀
It likes to take you on many unexpected paths…⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Making ceramics was certainly was one of those. ⠀⠀
When I started making them, I never thought that I would one day turn it into a business..⠀⠀
If Making Ceramics is a magical thing, doing it as a business is not for the faint hearted..⠀⠀
It is expensive to set up, expensive to run for a start.⠀⠀
Then it takes a lot of time, energy AND patience.⠀⠀
By the end of 2018 I was exhausted and I fell sick -like the last 3 years-⠀⠀
Something was not right, I had to re-assess.. ⠀⠀
Exhaustion is a sure way of killing one's spirit and health, I couldn’t let this happen.⠀⠀
So the Big News is that I have decided to go back to France.⠀⠀
To be honest, I don’t know what I will be doing there, the only thing I know is that I will be creative..⠀⠀
I’ll try to use all the things that I have learned in Australia, all the things that have shaped me into the person that I am today.⠀⠀
I can’t imagine not making ceramics at all, I love the magic too much, they inspire me too much but how I will do this.. je ne sais pas!⠀⠀
I hope you will stay with me on this Insta account and follow me on my new adventure..⠀⠀
My account will evolve, how? I don’t know ..⠀⠀
I am opening a new chapter, we will see…you will see..⠀⠀
Keep well my friends, keep being creative. Creativity is your soul expressing it self, it is intelligence having fun as Einstein said !⠀⠀

Sydney on a balmy night !
Beautiful city, feeling very lucky to be able to enjoy such a view..

I love taking pictures of my ceramics with natural elements..⁣⠀
With their simple, organic shapes and feel, I find they are a perfect match..⁣⠀
And I adore eucalyptus trees.⠀
Their leaves come in so many different shapes, shades and structures.. all beautiful and photogenic.⁣⠀
The funny thing is that growing up on the Riviera I thought gum trees and wattle trees were native of the region as they are plentiful there and I loved them then...⁣⠀
Little did I know that by coming to Australia I was coming to their motherland where I would further my love for them.⠀
a few gum leaves..⁣⠀
one of my ceramics⁣...⁣⠀
and a beautiful background @georgie_dolling....⁣⠀
Simplicity .. ⠀
and the stylist, ceramicist and photographer in me are happy.. ⠀

Simple, Black and totally Matt ..⁣⠀
I love what I can create with this new clay !⠀
Except for the mess.. ⠀
When « raw » it leaves a tenacious dark brown/yellow tinge on everything it gets in contact with, including my hands.. so I have to be prepared for a mega clean and a mega scrub after working with it ! ⠀
Making ceramics is not a pretty, dainty exercise most of the time, but it’s magical to turn mud into vessels and just for that I can put up with the mess ! ⠀
Sealed with Liquid Quartz another magical thing! @Liquid_quartz_sealer ⁣⠀

From Baking to Ceramics... via Styling..⠀
I would have been 4 when my love affair with food started. ⠀
The coal stove in our kitchen had an inbuilt oven within my reach and after kindergarten I used to bake my little treat every day...then I would create “stuff “ be it painting, sewing, knitting etc.. I saw possibilities of creating in anything.⠀
When I think about it, getting in food styling was the perfect and natural thing for me to do as it combines all the things I love, food + being creative.. ⠀
and getting into ceramics? ⠀
Well, much the same...I don't play with food but I create vessels for it!⠀
And what I find quite amusing and comforting is that when I make my ceramics I use very much the same tools and methods as in baking.⠀
I roll the clay like pastry for one, I blind bake it (the temperature might be a little different by 1000 degrees) and I work with an equally “feeling ” kind of way where my fingers decide .. is the clay too wet, too dry? etc...⠀
.. and in this collection I use a fork around the edge of each piece just like the little tartlets I used to make after kindy..⠀
⠀
A few pieces in this collection are available on line.. yes, finally! check the store.⠀
and if you wanted to make your very own little dishes like this one, come and join me in of my classes.. click in bio for all info..⠀

I love the endless possibilities that working with clay offers and what it allows me to create.⠀
My mind is never quite still when I work. It is in a kind of soothing, creative bubble where ideas keep swimming by.⠀
It is a strange connection between my hands and my mind...as if the clay guided me, spoke to me in a "feeling" language that my mind translates .. ⠀
I cant' force it, I can predict it, it just happens..⠀
And what I find really fabulous is that when I do classes I can see this happening with my "students".. ⠀
They get lost in this creative bubble and are so excited by what they create..(I get excited too😊)⠀
The pieces in this image are from the class " working with porcelain" where ornaments, beads, gift tags, pendants, small dishes etc...were made using fresh leaves but there was also 100 year old laces , French fabric, stamps etc to play with.⠀
If you want to explore creativity or have your first taste of working with clay, I have listed more classes on the website.⠀ Click in Bio and it will take you to the workshop page.⠀
and by the way I am at the Paddington Artisans market tomorrow! ⠀
Hope to see you there!⠀
