Stéphane Dampierre

Although Stéphane Dampierre discovered working with clay as a teenager, he perfected his skills with Christophe Linard, but he was soon to find a very different path, as the whiteness of porcelain drew him to obtain contrasts and dense colours. Porcelain is mainly used in the form of slabs, sometimes by throwing or casting, and the whole material can be coloured or enhanced with gold or platinum. It can become a geometrically shaped decorative object that is entirely cloisonné, or a secret box with sophisticated closures. It can withstand all types of firing and is sometimes finished with glass paste or combined with other materials or objects in multimedia installations.
