“Inspirée d’ailleurs.”

Juliette is a French artist based in Barcelona. After studying at the Beaux Arts in Monaco, she explored different avenues such as sculpture, jewellery and finally ceramics. Ceramics proved to be her big break, opening up a whole range of possibilities. She had the opportunity and motivation to become an assistant in a ceramics studio in Barcelona and learned a great deal from this experience before co-founding her current studio, Bcn Clay Studio, with 3 other partners.

Her sources of inspiration are primitive arts, ethnic arts and crafts, and works of nature. She works in clay modelling because it is the means of expression that inspires her; forming and making objects progressively, with her own hands, is a source of great satisfaction to her. She makes one-off pieces and small series, each with its own slight differences. She generally uses very little glaze, preferring to preserve a raw, natural look.
