Hello, I’m Michel Roux, the potter at Trecarne. I was born in Aix-en-Provence, France. My father was an artist so I grew up amid paints and canvas but in England, in 1978, I became fascinated by clay and pottery.
I say that I am self taught, but I had invaluable help from a potter friend (trained at Harrow School of Art) who gave me initial tuition before telling me to get on and learn by myself.
Years later I set up a workshop in the Pyrenees and began successfully selling and exhibiting my work. When my three children moved back to England I decided to come too and in 2003 opened my present workshop, in Cornwall.
I have an inexhaustible stream of new ideas for my pottery and am much inspired by the energy of the Lizard sea and wind, by the amazing colours of the sky and the rocks, and by the local beaches which I much enjoy in the company of my two grand daughters.
I like to work with simple shapes but put a lot of thought into how my pottery will be used. My glazes, in contrast, are subtle mixes of colour that are painterly influences. I aim for spontaneity in making and pleasure in using. |
