The phases of the Art of Pantoù Ceramics
Pantoù ceramics emerge from a series of stages: conceptualization, design, prototyping, and testing. Nothing is left to chance! The shapes, colors, and textures result from meticulous research: the silhouettes evolve from a sequence of drawings, followed by the creation of a prototype that is first shaped on the potter's wheel, then slowly air-dried, ensuring the object dries uniformly to prevent deformation or cracking. Subsequently, the dried piece is ready for the initial firing at a temperature of approximately 1000°C. This phase transforms raw clay into terracotta, which is later glazed with self-produced coatings for a unique effect. The glaze application is primarily done with an airbrush. Each item showcases a personal aesthetic with a contemporary flair. The handmade process, without the use of molds, adds a special touch to every piece.
