Barbara Jaccard

After attending several stages on modelling techniques, glaze preparation and
firing methods, in the 1990s I specialised in the art of turning by attending
ceramist Ueli Wengen's atelier for a couple of years.

The practice of ceramics has become more and more intense over the years, so much so that I decide
to buy a lathe and oven and make it my profession.

In my workshop I am constantly experimenting with new shapes on the lathe or modelling them by hand,
often using stoneware, which I prefer for its hardness and stony appearance.
New glazes, new firing methods (Raku, wood firing) and special surface preparations make this profession for me a real passion that moves and changes at the pace of new
discoveries.
