Juana MAILLOT • Céramiste Coloriste

My research is based solely on the colour of the clay, without glaze, sometimes with a thin layer of wax to reveal the nuance of the fired clay. I like to design pure containers, where the light on the volume allows different nuances to be obtained. Sensitive textures sometimes contrast with the shape, highlighting a line or detail.

Then, firing with gas or wood allows me to obtain several shades from a single clay.

Each object is unique and for everyday use: mortar pans, serving dishes, salad bowls, bowls... It's important to me that my ceramics should be close to the hand, close to people.
