Cécile Etève, a potter based in Barjols
Cécile creates and crafts homeware and decorative objects in stone. She aims to create artisanal pieces that are both sophisticated and delicate while refining them with a wave of colour or a striking, unusual detail.
Each of her pieces is entirely unique, made by hand using one of her several techniques: turning, flat-cut work or rolled coils. The crafted object will either be left as it is or then decorated by hand using coloured shapes that use unusual patterns and textures. Cecile can often be found at local markets where she sells her wares all year round.
Cécile Etève is teaming up with Lou Calen for a series of introductory workshops in pottery and ceramics.
