Inspiré par les oreillers en céramique des dynasties Tang et Song - en plus d’offrir de la fraîcheur derrière la nuque, les oreillers anciens détournaient des mauvais esprits et faisaient d’excellentes portes-bonheurs.
Our annual ceramic pit-firing is akin to a ritual, a unique ceramic experience both participative and meditative, where considerable care and attention is brought to each step of the process. Just the colours are left to the whims of the fire. Each piece is white when it goes in but when it comes out it has been marked by elements animated in the flames, (wood, banana skins, copper and algae). The cooling process traps this tableau in the very pores of the pieces. These generally large bellied pots, such as ‘moon’ shaped jars, ‘Grand Trépieds’ and ‘Big Bang’ pots become ritualised objects, “painted with fire”, bearing the markings of their passage through the flames.
