Laure aim's to master the notion of
space and to capture light, seeing through a piece in order
to inhabit it and be aware of it's texture.
As a trained architect and designer, she
has maintained a certain sense of rigour and a desire for coherence
with regard to the object's purpose.
From anatomy to sculpture and then on to
vessels, she was hand-building for many years before being
trained on the wheel by Augusto Tozzola and Thierry Fouquet, and
studied the use of
glazes at the CNIFOP with François Eve.
She has
been working from 1998 to 2007, in a firing and ceramics studio ( terre
& feu, Paris ) where she teaches adults classes.
She settles down this year in a place which looks like her with as
project to make it a space of work and exchanges just like the
association which she founded with Anne Deberly-Rome ( Un
jour d'Atelier, Paris ). She has also been responsible for artistic and
cultural projects in schools and has been involved in training
professionnals.
Her pieces
are usually one-off or produced in a limited thematic series. They are
made in earthenware, stoneware or porcelain and are glazed, at times
only partially, and often combine several techniques.
