Meet Cécile
Ceramist
Cécile's first foray into clay was in 1997 during an exchange year in Minnesota. She knew right away that this would one day be her future, it just felt so right! But it was only a few years later when she was on an artists' tour that she discovered a ceramist just down the road from her. Coincidence? No way! The universe had decided to put her back on the path of ceramics.
For a while her 10 fingers couldn't keep up with all the ideas she had in her head. Clay became her outlet, her means of expression - because the words she used in her job as a communications' manager proved to be frustratingly limited! She needed to express herself without overstepping the mark.
Cécile works with clay using a potter's wheel, but also enjoys exploring different modelling techniques as well as Raku firing. She makes her own enamels and produces both utilitarian and decorative objects.
In addition to teaching her craft, Cécile loves sharing the joy of focusing on the simple, beautiful side of things! It's all about the pleasure of creation and exploring clay's possibilities!
Step through the door of her small workshop that overlooks a peaceful garden and enjoy a unique moment with Cécile! She'll enthusiastically share her creativity and energy!

Sympathique atelier où l’on émaille des bols déjà préparés par Cécile. Le reste de l’atelier permet d’observer la technique particulière de cuisson Raku. L’on repart avec deux bols terminés. Merci!
