Quentin Marais, ceramist: (Finistère)
Exhibition F(UTILE) The House of the Potter gives carte blanche to the ceramic artist Quentin Marais in his exhibition space. For years, his work is built from the world of childhood, he imagines with his memories, images of this period; memories of places, cities, cities, objects, everyday ... He creates with the gestures, games, drawings and colors of his youth. Cutting, gluing, assembling, colouring and muddling: all these notions nourish and build his realizations. Clay offers him this freedom: It offers the plasticity between the useful and the useless and reveals the link between the imaginary and the concrete.

Gérard Champion, amateur photographer: (Maine et Loire) Exhibition ‘’ Les mains de Magali’’ Gérard Champion, offers an exhibition through the hands of Magali Bruchet Céramiste/Sculptrice in Montjean sur Loire.
A privileged moment in the heart of a workshop, movements frozen on the repeated gestures of an artist who fashions sensitive and poetic works day after day. The shots were taken in pause mode (about 3 to 4 seconds) with the camera resting on a tripod to give a sensation of movement. Black and White was chosen to bring out the gesture and because of the heterogeneous environment.
