Marseille, FRANCE

“it's what I do that teaches me what I'm looking for” – Pierre Soulages

Julie is an architect by training; it is through working the earth that she now thinks about volumes. After starting to work with clay in modeling a few years ago, she trained throwing, a more precise technique which allows her to create refined pieces. Today she uses both techniques in her practice.

Her world is made up of pale and soft tones. She creates utilitarian pieces as well as decorative pieces as lighting in her studio in Marseille. Each piece is made with the greatest care, one by one, respecting temporalities imposed by the material. Designs of his pieces are refined, simple and precise.

She finds her sources of inspiration in the nature that surrounds her: the multiples rocks of Marseille, the light, the sand, the reflections of the sea. Her interest also focuses on the retransmission of textures: sandy clays in contrast with enamels smooth and shiny.
