Amandine, ceramist & mother

For thirteen years, I wore the lawyer's robe; then I chose clay and craft. A mother of three, I shape porcelain pieces for little ones, guided by a simple idea: a child's very first treasures deserve as much care as the memories they will accompany.

Based in Cape Town, I am developing my range far from my future studio, through glaze tests between Cape Town and Occitanie. On my return to France, in summer 2027, I will open my studio.

In the studio

The gesture, piece by piece

Each piece leaves its plaster mould unfired and fragile. I fettle it by hand: I remove the seam line and refine every edge, before the first firing.

From Cape Town to Occitanie

Based in Cape Town, I am letting the collection mature through glaze tests. In summer 2027, back to France: the studio opens.
