At the Kari ceramik workshop, it is first of all the smile and the kindness that welcome you. You will then be seduced by the refined creations, each one more beautiful than the other!
A successful conversion!
“My name is Kari and I am a ceramist by trade. At the Kari ceramik workshop, I turn, I decorate and I enamel a whole bunch of small stoneware objects. I haven't always worked in this field, I come from hotel management. I was part of a Swiss ceramic workshop for several years. Then I joined the International Center for Ceramics in Saint-Amand for a full year. Internships in the Loire, the Netherlands and England, a CAP later and I created my workshop! »
Continuing the tradition
“I have been living here for about ten years, it is a village on a human scale where we know each other, where we greet each other, where we help each other. And then there is a beautiful tradition of making pottery in the area. It was convinced by my husband that I left Valais for Mont-Saxonnex. The kindness of the neighborhood and the local associative world has finished convincing me! »
Shape and bring to life
“I've always been passionate about beautiful objects, about creative processes. I like both Savoyard terracotta and Japanese stoneware! Seeing an object "born" in your hands is still magical, isn't it? »
The freedom to create
"The profession of ceramist encompasses knowledge of all the techniques of working the earth, I love making pieces on my potter's wheel, of course, but I also create creations with other techniques, in complete freedom, at thanks to my inspirations! »
thank you mother nature
“I particularly like to be inspired by nature and here, in Mont-Saxonnex, it is on our doorstep. »
