Violaine’s current work explores the interplay between form and personality through the creation of clay vessels. Each piece begins with a focus on curves – their subtleties and how they shape the essence of the object.

Once formed, she applies a restrained palette of slips and glazes, using brushes, sponges, or any tool that feels intuitive in the moment. The process is guided by the volume and contours of the vessel, which shape the rhythm of her mark-making.

It’s a dynamic dialogue – almost a dance – between her hand and the clay, where each movement responds to the other, revealing the vessel’s character through its form and surface. This process reflects her desire for creative self-expression, moving beyond the boundaries of functional ceramics.

Each piece created in this series is unique, and cannot be replicated.

Size: 17cm Ø x 35.5 cm H

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Typically a ceramicist with attention to detail and focussed on functional pieces and tableware, Violaine is currently experimenting with the magic of raku, an intricate and labour intensive process which entails taking her ceramics red hot from the kiln straight into contact with combustible materials. To Violaine the resulting pieces are reminiscent of a variety of landscapes: perhaps a network of roads or fields seen from above, or an unfamiliar lunar landscape. All are totally unpredictable when they are created, each piece is unique and with its own character, and leads our imagination down a different path.
