Earth, fire and some magic From the rough red clay to the smooth, silky, sparkling faience, there are only a few basic ingredients: water, earth and fire. But for the success of the delicate alchemy, for the magic to work, a complete mastery of a centuries-old craft is needed: molding, throwing, casting, glazing, festooning, decorating, cooking...
Three steps: mold, "biscuit" and finished faience.
The "biscuits" soon to be glazed.
Custodian of the traditional techniques and arcane handicrafts, the Atelier Soleil faience maker knows that each and every piece that comes out of his kiln is unique and bears his invisible fingerprints. |
