The meditative technique

When Louise works, the dialogue with the material is always essential. With more than 15 years of experience, Louise feels at home on the potter's wheel. That's why most of her items are hand-thrown.
In all her finalized pieces, you can almost perceive the meditative state she is in, when in deep connection with the clay.

Good material and green energy

Louise is working with high quality white German stoneware clay, fired at 1260 in an electrical kiln. All the glazes used in her production are non toxic, 100% food safe and developed by good local suppliers. Her electrical kiln is powered exclusively using wind power.

Tradition and innovation

In the creative process Louise is motivated to make pieces that are clean, simple and honest in material, aesthetic and function.
She moves freely in the field of tension between tradition and innovation. Her cautious curiosity led Louise to understand the material she works with, rather than trying to control it.
