Working around the mineral, plant and underwater worlds, and specializing in the Raku firing technique, she takes the burning ceramics out of the kiln by placing them in wood shavings so that the smoke seeps into the glaze. The origin of this firing process dates back to the sixteenth century. Linked to the tea ceremony and Zen culture, Raku embodies the beauty of imperfection.
Gaëlle Labrouche is a contemporary ceramist and lives and works in Arbonne, France. After having spent several years with master potters, she created the Artist's Studios of Milady in Biarritz. If the world of nature is her main inspiration, she attaches a particular importance to the connection which is created between the shaped wet clay and her hands.
