I am very excited to let you know that I have officially started my private ceramics initiation workshops. They are a great opportunity to discover the world of ceramics by making your very own piece. The workshops take place in Paris, since it is were I live, but if you ever come to Paris, or know someone who is planning a trip there, feel free to come and see me! If you want to know more about it, contact me! You can also look at my website, it is all in French, but the pho

I am really not a morning person, and I easily get annoyed (and annoying) when I wake up. I especially get annoyed with butter that is too hard to spread on the bread… So I made myself a very small butter dish to have soft butter every morning. This one is for me, but I will be making some soon to sell, probably in various colours. More making pics here : https://www.instagram.com/angrypixiecrafts/ #makingprocess #makingceramics

I had a teapot that used to belong to my grandmother, which had been lying around in my attic for a while. The lid was missing so I decided to make a brand new one, so I can start using the teapot again. I think that’s the start of something new for me; I have got plenty of old unused objects because they have an element missing, so I decided that I would try to make myself the missing part. I think I am going to hunt for such objects in charity shops and people’s attics, and

I made a tea mug for a friend some time ago, so here are the pics of the making process. Next time I will make the tea cone deeper. #makingceramics #makingprocess #mug

As you might know I decided to take some throwing classes; as I tend to use the slip casting method usually, I thought throwing was a very useful skill to learn as well. I started by making cylinders, then I learnt how to make lids for my cylinders in order to make boxes. Then I will gradually move on to other kind of shapes. I discovered that throwing is a lot like the practice of a music instrument, it takes time, effort, dedication, it is sometimes frustrating, and it is L

I recently posted about Olivier Van Herpt and his 3D printed ceramics, that you can see here. I got the chance to attend a demonstration by Jonathan Keep a few months ago where he was explaining and showing how to use a 3D printer to make ceramic wares. I already knew quite a bit about 3D printing, but seeing the cup literally grow before my eyes was still impressive and mesmerizing. In this video, Jonathan Keep explains how to make your own ceramic 3D printer. I am consider

My ceramic practice is mainly based on casting clay (slip casting). I thought that it was about time to start learning how to throw! Once a week I spend a few hours throwing in a Parisian studio, and I must admit it is a lot harder than what I expected. Here are some photos of my very first trials. #throwing #clay #handmade #ceramics #makingceramics #pottery #vessels

I have recently finished a series of small and colourful earthenware buttons. Here are the photos of the whole making process. #ceramics #makingceramics #buttons #workinprogress

I was recently asked to write a blog post about my journey as a self-employed ceramicist. If you want to know more about my reasons for deciding to become self employed, the challenges I had to overcome, the rewarding parts of being self-employed, and other things about me and my business, read my blog post here. #ceramics #ceramicshowto #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #unique #vessels #angrypixie #selfemployment

Here is a method to make multiples quickly in ceramics : press moulding. Those two videos, one by Alan Paulson and the other one by the Musée Départemental de la Faïence in France, give you an overview of how to do so. Have a look and let me know if you have used or are planning to use this technique. #pressmold #alanpaulson #ceramictutorial #ceramicists #ceramicshowto #clay #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #plastermould #pottery #unique #videotutorial

In this video Alan Paulson teaches how to make a plaster mould for slip casting. This one is a drop out mould (one part) but I will be posting later on a video about how to make several parts moulds. #mouldmaking #plastermould #ceramictutorial #ceramics #alanpaulson #ceramicshowto #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #unique #videotutorial #vessels

I am currently working on a range of tiny coffee cups with their small spoons. Here is a sneak peek of the making process. #coffeecups #ceramics #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #vessels #unique

This demonstration by Ingleton Pottery shows how clay vessels can be pierced for decorative purposes. Phew! I don’t know if I would be patient enough! #ceramictutorial #ceramics #ceramicshowto #crafts #handmade #ingletonpottery #makingceramics #pottery #vases #unique #vessels #videotutorial

Paper clay is a good way to recycle old slip, and it also allows you to create light pieces. In this document by Lisa Merida-Paytes you will discover how to make paper clay. #paperclay #lisameridapaytes #ceramictutorial #ceramics #ceramicshowto #crafts #diy #handmade #makingceramics #paper #pottery

I am increasingly looking at how I could add patterns and drawings onto my ceramic pieces, especially for my jewellery as I have a few ideas in mind for my next collection… Here is a video by Erin Furimsky called ”paper stencils and underglaze transfer” demonstrating how to create handmade transfer paper and how to apply the transfer afterward onto clay. #erinfurimsky #transferontoclay #ceramictutorial #ceramicshowto #crafts #diy #handmade #illustration #makingceramics #potte

A step by step tutorial about how to centre clay on a wheel, by Beth Peterson. Very useful if you want to learn how to throw and don’t know how to get started. Enjoy! #ceramictutorial #ceramics #ceramicshowto #makingceramics

If you are a ceramicist and just got your first kiln, this could help you. Beth Peterson explains in details how to load a kiln. #ceramics #crafts #handmade #pottery #makingceramics #vessels #ceramictutorial #ceramicshowto #loadingakiln

I personally tend to make my vessels with the slip casting technique, but I am more and more tempted to work with a wheel… I might throw my next collection? Here is a video by Ingleton Pottery showing how to throw a teapot. It is quite mesmerising and makes want to throw right now! #ingletonpottery #ceramics #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #vessels #videotutorial
