"Cynthia" espresso cup made by Myrtille Ceramics in Brooklyn, New York.
Clay work is by definition slow, requires patience, love of detail, research of materials, colors, sensations. A Frenchwoman living in New York for 8 years, Myrtille avidly explores the possibilities offered by the work of ceramics shaped by hand or on a wheel. Her pieces, crafted in a pottery studio in Brooklyn, are proof that even in a pulsating metropolis there is space to create delicate objects at your own pace, designed to accompany precious moments. Each piece is unique, and each use will be too.
