Ariane A. Coissieux

Child of nature, daughter of ceramist, infant of a wide steppes universe where horses are raised live freely... Child of the Larzac, on the border of the Cévennes, Ariane‘s first ceramics were created during her early childhood in her father’s workshop. The nature surrounding her studio has helped shape her and continues to inspire her today. Her world fuses tradition and design, authenticity and modernity, poetry and a high level of technique, with a deeply rooted ethic of the art and craft of ceramics . She never hesitates to exploit the full potential of the materials she works with, and her creativity always goes hand-in-hand with a meticulous attention to detail. Her ceramics collection includes unique pieces ranging from artistic, to architectural pieces which fit perfectly into any environment. An exploration of the sensuality of line, the magic of high-fire glazes and a thousand and one shimmers of Oilspots, Celadons, Copper Reds, Shün... an unending quest of textures and colors, made with natural raw materials, this is without contest the most difficult (and exciting!) part of her creation process. The are many struggles and failures... but these are quickly forgotten when there is success...there is so much joy to share ! Ariane is a traveler, open to the world around her. For the past 15 years, her work has been exhibited world-wide- from Taiwan to the USA, Singapore, Paris, Brussels—all throughout Europe, as well as the Ancestral Imperial Temple in the Forbidden City, Beijing, China ... She also directs the professional ceramics school founded by her father 40 years ago, so she has the pleasure as well as the duty of teaching techniques and sharing cultures of this wonderful way of finding joy every day: being a ceramist !
