The Printemps des Potiers’commitment to showcasing and championing contemporary ceramics stems from a love of clay as a material and pottery as a craft..
The 2026 edition of ‘Printemps des potiers’ showcases five European ceramicists whose work channels the earth’s elemental forces through clay: Jean-François Fouilhoux, Gil Browaëys, Icaro Maiterena, Anne verdier and Anne Marie Laureys.
Their highly structured approach to the ceramic material takes shape in sculptures that seem to emerge from rock formations and ancient geological strata, unearthed by artists acting as archaeologists. Bearing a history as old as time, the earth is adorned with delicate folds, adopts the gestures of a calligrapher, takes on organic lines, accumulations of materials and experimentation, and raw compressions, revealing ceramics as an art of tectonics.
