Utility Ceramics
Faustine Cayol
I was born in the south of France in the land of santons,
one autumn morning 1991.
Working with my hands has always been obvious to me, drawing and painting have always followed me, music, photography and other artistic disciplines will later complete my learning.
I meet the land after a literary baccalaureate in Aubagne,
a bit by chance.
I decided to take the route of clay rather than that of the plastic arts faculty and I joined the ceramic school of Aubagne in 2013 in CAP decoration on ceramics then a second year in 2014 in CAP filming, will follow a third and final year of training at the Maison de la Céramique de Dieulefit in 2015.
One year after the end of my training course, 2016,
the workshop is born, the collection is refined and takes shape,
a character asserts itself,
Terre Sauvage was born.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
I chose sandstone to tell my story, it inspires me,
I mainly shape it by turning and stamping.
After the creation of the object, the decoration is placed on earthen slips, using a needle I will engrave, sgraffiter, scratch
matter; she then takes me to distant countries
where I travel through the ages, there appear lines, dots,
lines, little creatures ... some call them
ghosts, others cockroaches, cicadas, moomins, cotton candy… for me it will be the Druids.
After shaping and decorating, a first firing
is carried out at 960 ° C.
I will then add the last decorative elements
as well as the enamel and anneal at 1260 ° c.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
The material is transformed and the colors appear, a harmony of shades close to nature are born.
Some pieces require a third firing at 780 ° c
to stare at the timidly laid gold.
I like the way gold illuminates an object, it brings a precious side and completes the process of making the piece.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
