About the studio
Francoise Kindler operates two ceramics studios under the name Atelier Terre (Terre Sculpture): an Atelier Galerie and an Atelier Jonction in Geneva (Switzerland) as well as the Atelier de Ventebrin workshop in Taulignan (France). The focus of the work is on hand-shaped ceramic sculptures, teapots and ceramic objects made from clay. The services offered include pottery-wheel courses (Cours de Tournage), raku workshops (Stage Raku) as well as exhibitions and the sale of ceramic work directly in the studio. For the raku technique, the firing method is taught in its own workshop. Communication is in French; inquiries can be made by telephone or e-mail, in Geneva by appointment. The studios are aimed at art enthusiasts, course participants and collectors.
