• Cécile specialises in decorating raw glazes on pieces that she shapes herself
• Her work revisits traditional patterns from the 17th and 18th centuries
• She set up her atelier in her garden in 2008

Cécile Lowy creates earthenware using the traditional, rare technique of decorating on raw glaze. Her fascination with antiques led her to a training course in faience decoration focused on 18th-century heritage. What started as a way to sharpen her eye as a collector quickly grew into a passion strong enough to pull Cécile away from a career in contemporary dance. "I knew that I wanted to make these decorative traditions my own and carry them forward through modern, everyday pieces," she explains. Since 2008, Cécile has worked on her pieces from her garden studio. While her inspiration draws from European earthenware of the 17th and 18th centuries, her pieces take on distinctly modern shapes.
