Ceramics handmade by Hèlene Maury in her workshop in the Lot.
Hélène handcrafts pieces in very small quantities in her home studio, nestled in the fields of the Lot department. She creates her ceramics freely and spontaneously. Her sources of inspiration are simplicity, raw materials, the beauty of imperfection, color, and the wild nature that surrounds her.
All of her pottery is made of stoneware, and she crafts her own glazes using only natural, non-toxic materials. Mineral powders, wood ash, and a few natural oxides are used. Hélène is concerned about her impact on the environment and the health of both our planet and the artisan. Her ceramics are designed and shaped by hand, currently using the slow, time-honored techniques of modeling.
