It had been a long time since I had not participated in this forum. 25 years to make only some crystal glaze it is long. I decided to change little and to give less importance for the enamel and to play more with the materials while keeping(guarding) for example some crystal glaze inside bowls, in boxes etc.

cristallin à l’intérieur des bols, dans les boites etc

Hi Alain:
Thank you for sharing your body of work with me. In going through your gallery, I noticed you lean towards primitive philosophies both in your pieces and glazes. Although, I noticed you work textures into many of your pieces as well. Looking at the spouts and handles: I can see 15-16th century European influences in them. In the first picture: are you replicating a primitive salt glaze into a crystalline piece? I like the waterfall effect in the third picture and the use of texture and primitive trims on the fourth. You certainly have your own voice- well done.
Tom

Bonjour
Bonjour
Je ne sais pas comment google va traduire cela...cela sera peut être drôle
Je ne sais pas ce qui m'influence mais il est vrai que l'on fait des pièces en fonction de sa culture, son éducation etc. Au début j'ai essayé de faire des émaux spectaculaires ( des gros cristaux très colorés ). Ensuite j'ai essayé de mettre de la poésie avec des formes douces. Maintenant j'essaie le contraste entre des matières brutes et des émaux subtils sans être dans le "spectaculaire". Une tendance qui serait plus japonaise...
A bientôt
Hello
I do not know how Google is going to translate it...It will be can be funny
I do not know what influences me but it is true that we make pieces according to his culture, its education etc. At the beginning I tried to make spectacular glazes of ( the big very colored crystals). Then I tried to put of the poetry with soft forms. Now I try the contrast between raw materials and subtle enamels without being in the "spectacular". A trend which would be more Japanese...When we age we are interested the more in the fundamental and the less in the appearance
See you soon
Alain
