Octopus Bowl

Born in Quebec city, Canada Julie has been living in Paris since 2002. She was a graphic designer until she discovered the joy of modelling clay. As a self-taught designer, she started training with the ceramist Danielle Lescot at her studio in 2008 and later continued to develop her own style.
Inspired by the biological illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, I work exclusively with stoneware and I use a coil technique to shape the initial bodies before engraving or covering the forms in repeating patterns. I leave my pieces unglazed so that the minerality and organic textures of the clay remain intact.
