The labor

clay at work

Here are some elements of the techniques on the different phases of work used for the development of ceramic sculptures.

A little more detail for each of the phases by clicking on the corresponding text.

Ebauchage

First Shaping


The draft then joins my workshop for the start of the shaping

Dump

 


Almost all my sculptures have to be emptied in order to be able to go into the oven.

End of Shaping

The dump leads to deformations and requires a resumption of shaping.
When the sculpture is finished shaping, it's time to sign...

Drying

Passage to the Oven


Then cooking at Very High Temperature in my gas oven.

Finishing

When the sculpture comes out of the oven, there is almost nothing more to do. Just a few details...

Exhibition


And finally the exhibition and storage of the finished sculptures in the window above my workshop.
