The French have always been intrinsic style innovators in fashion and the arts and have readily adapted to new trends. In the ceramic arts, there has been a consistent tradition of invention, research, and the adoption of new techniques through the ages. Bernard Palissy, Theodore Deck, Edmond Lachenal, Roger Capron, Clement Massier, Jean Mayodon and Andre Metthey are just a few of the French ceramicists that contributed to the development of contemporary French pottery with their exploration of different clays and glazing techniques.
The local markets have eagerly embraced and supported the contemporary ceramic purveyors and some of the current crop of contemporary ceramicists are featured in this post. Also being displayed is a tasteful video by Luke Riolon on the Ceramique Cafe at the les journees de la ceramique ( ‘Days of the ceramic ‘) in Paris. This is an annual ceramics street market held in Paris over 4 days. At the Ceramique Cafe, visitors have the opportunity to choose from a diverse array of cups, provided by the many exhibitors, to use and admire while they drink their coffee.

Le Vase by Christian Ghion; “Fanatic of microcellular worlds, this design refers to my passion for the organic universe, where empty spaces have the same importance as full spaces, where beauty is singular, and where the invisible is familiar to visible”

Ananda Aragundi Hanus began her career as an agricultural engineer in Ecuador. On visiting France she decided to devote her time to ceramics and in 2003 she graduated at the French Institute of Ceramics in Sevres. The shape of Ananda’s ceramic sculptures are the result of a subtle marriage between asymmetry and imbalance and their appearance resembles textures of the natural world as if the wind had blown them or they had been shaped by water, snow or volcanoes.
