Céramique a Way's Mills
Expo-Sale 2024
Fabrica Ateleia is a small-scale brand defined by the efforts of a single artist. The focus is on the art of tableware, with ceramic objects that vary from one to the next. These are distinctive pieces, conceived and designed to bring harmony and elegance to a space, while being an integral part of everyday life.
As she feels that pottery saved her from a future that was not meant for her, healing is a recurring theme in Evelyn Charette's work. She feels each movement in the present by touching the clay. At times subtle, and at others explicit, she explores this theme through collections such as "Le remède" or "My Medicine." Her new collection, "La fleur," aims to bring together admirers of beauty and gentleness through a symbolic emblem. Her pieces, imbued with finesse and softness in mint and peach colors, are also adorned with simple and comforting patterns. Other works, stemming from a more illustrative and intuitive practice, reflect her deep connection with the visual arts.
Since childhood, Suki Craig has loved playing with clay, kneading it and feeling it in her hands. Today, despite her urban roots, she transforms this passion into unique, everyday objects that pay homage to the natural world around her. She needs to work with her hands, to create by giving free rein to the movement of the wheel. Her work focuses on the production of utilitarian pieces in small series and one-offs destined for smokestacking and coated with terra sigillata. Shades of ochre, black and burnt orange are obtained with various fuels burnt in old metal buckets.
Catherine De Abreu's practice is intimately linked to her way of existing: she creates in order to better understand what inhabits her and to better communicate. Her approach questions human nature and society, and is geared towards sustainable consumption on a human scale. Through the use of decals on her pieces, she explore themes dear to her. She seeks to create a connection with people through her handmade pieces, hoping that a part of her is transposed into her work and nurtures a strong bond between the creator and the end user.
Pour Nadi artiste céramiste, les promenades au bord de la mer ou en forêt apportent un sentiment de bien-être et de plénitude. À travers ses créations qui accompagnent les rituels quotidiens, elle tente de nous ramener au moment présent, comme le font la texture d'un galet ou la douceur de l'intérieur d'un coquillage. Elle communique son amour pour la nature dans sa création d’objets céramiques faits de grès naturel. Les formes sont rondes, douces, réconfortantes et incitent au toucher. Elle utilise plusieurs techniques de fabrication dont le tournage, le moulage et le façonnage.
La pratique de Catherine De Abreu est intimement liée à sa façon d'exister : elle crée afin de mieux comprendre ce qui l’habite et à mieux communiquer. Sa démarche questionne la nature humaine et la société, et se tourne vers une consommation durable à échelle humaine. Grâce aux décalques apposés sur ses pièces, elle explorant des thématiques qui lui tiennent à cœur. Elle cherche à créer une connexion avec les gens à travers ses pièces faites à la main, espérant qu'une partie d'elle-même se transpose dans ses œuvres et nourrisse un lien fort entre le créateur et l'utilisateur final.
