I am Emmanuelle Musset, Manet is my artist name and I hold a Masters degree in Ceramic since this summer. In order to open my workshop I need YOU.

The basic yet essential tools to start up are the following : a kiln, a potter's wheel and clay. The main piece of equipment for a professional ceramist would be a high quality kiln, which also turns out to be the most expensive one…and that is when you come into play.

I encourage you to visit my website bymanet.com for a better understanding of my creations.

I will be based in the Essone department, in " banlieu parisienne " (south of Pari) in a calm environment to enhance my creativity which is fuelled by the fresh air and tranquillity from the countryside. I'm actualy building my worshop in my parent's garden with my father's and oncle's help.

To make those fateful days come true, you can choose from a large panel of lamps, sculptures, flower pots and jewellery I have created and will create. For each contribution you will receive a unique handcrafted item of your choice by manet, confectioned through manual artisanal tecniques (pottery/modelage/engraving…). Since most of the pieces are yet to be made, you might even be able to personalise some of them (colour, glaze, size…)

My signature touch

During my four years of studying at La Cambre school in Brussels, I developped and applied to various creations my ‘verrémail’ (glass and glaze). I have explored every corner of the glaze material, in order to provide it with new properties: structural when used as a stabiliser in the base of a vase or tanslucid in order to filter the light emanating from a lamp. Thus the glazing ‘behaves’ like glass and becomes a new substance that drips, spreads and connects. Normally, technique defines the shape and not the other way around. The forms are refined and direct, magnifying the raw materials. The complexity lies in the details, clay and glaze are both stripped bare in this mix. Glaze is an erratic and demanding material to work with and requires patience and ingenuity due to its needs regarding its baking process, as opposed to its counterpart, that is clay. When the latter requires a gradual increase in temperature when in the kiln and cools down easily, glass (glaze in large quantity) requires a slow cool down. During that phase, things normally go wrong between the clay and the glaze, hence the need for me to acquire a quality kiln.
