Mathilde Dumousseau

I’m a ceramist , practising stoneware glazes and ashes.
Here is my world :
I make my pieces by hand in my workshop in Brittany .
My inspiration comes from my surroundings, moorland and rock outcrops.
My universe is a mineral one in which slowness is required.
I built a wood-fired oven to cook my pieces in 2023.

I tame clay from my workshop in Comblessac ( Ille et Vilaine, France).
I started pottery with ash glazes before perfecting myself in modeling. I structure my search on
natural shapes and textures.
My hands in the earth, I tempt to recreate my surroundings ,which I really like.
I compose my interior geology during my walks in moorland , granite ripraps and forest
landscapes.
Back in my workshop, I let inspiration come so as to make this new landscape be mine.
My ceramics are made of high temperature cooking sandstone covered with enamel I prepare with
wood ash. I use engobes , oxides and ocres.
The pieces are totally hand made .
I work at the plate and use the coiling technique.
