Anne Reverdy

Anne is a country potter, and carries out her craft in complete harmony with her daily life. However, she doesn’t draw vegetables or farm animals just because she is a gardener and keeps donkeys and horses. She works generously on the wheel and uses clear glazes that allow the space for the colours produced by the flames in a wood-burning kiln or for the major decoration in her work. The jugs feature framed images, such as windows opening onto a face from the front or in profile depicted with simple, clean lines. The bowls are decorated with red or blue gingham checks. Anne also has an all-consuming passion, one at which she excels – playing draughts; and for this she makes precious ceramic sets which have an unexpected beauty.
