Nathalie et Jean-Christophe Desvignes

Nathalie and Jean Christophe DESVIGNES, ceramists. 15 years ago, for the love of the arts and ceramics, we created an artistic ceramics workshop in the department of Finistère.

Nathalie: “Since the age of 16, modeling has been obvious to me, a mode of expression. Since 2005, I have decided to live off my passion and make it my job. My universe is poetic and playful and I seek, through my sculptures, to provoke a smile, an emotion. I love the earth, its smell, its texture, its plasticity and its complexity, at the origin of small challenges to overcome. I work the Raku, for its raw and living side, and the engobed earth, for all the infinite palette of colors that I can create. My work is focused on meditation and brings me great serenity! ".

Jean Christophe: “I specialized in the engraving (I love the graphics) of ceramic pieces and the modeling of animals. I like to stylize them to make them look fun, but sometimes I represent them in a hyperrealistic way. I take care of the ovens and cooking in the workshop. During Raku cooking, I take the pieces out of the oven at 1000 °. I am always attentive and amazed by the effects produced by the firing on the enamels and their iridescent hues! ".
