Colorful, playful, joyful & unique

About Caitriona

“I love working in clay - it’s such a versatile material & there is something deeply satisfying in shaping something with your hands…”

I was born in Co. Wicklow, Ireland & spent much of my 20s in London.  I studied Ceramics at Central Saint Martins School of Art.

I have been living and working in Provence, France for the past 25 years.

 I simply love making anything in clay and I value the versatility of the material. Everything is built by hand, using either slabs or coils.

 My pieces are unique, tactile and joyfully vibrant.

I often work in earthenware (red terra cotta or white clay) since the color range of the glazes fired around 1000°C is endless and hugely inspiring. I also work in stoneware for it’s strength in building and versatility and durability.

 The forms are usually simple… I am inspired by art, by nature and by life around me!

I make small & large scale sculptures and objects – often whimsical and always one-off.

I am happy to take on commissions.

“L’argile est une matière magique, ouvrant un grand espace pour la creation”…

le fait main construit par plaques aboutit à une pièce unique

Je travaille la faïence (terra cotta rouge ou argile blanc) ce qui me permet un choix d’émaux plus vaste, mais aussi le grès pour sa force et durabilité.

Inspirée par la vie, la nature, l’art contemporain & le design, mes oeuvres uniques reflètent espièglerie et gaité…
