Ceramics Mon Amour!

I love doing Sogetsu Miniature Arrangements. I have a collection of small vases and containers, I buy one every time I have had a chance, thinking about this specific form of composition of Sogetsu School.

The ceramics used in the first arrangement are by various ceramicists, Michelle Dethurens, Isabelle Chessex, and me. 

For me, this second composition also highlights the beauty of the ceramic containers. The two bronze glazed ceramic tiles created by me bring the pieces of the whole composition together.

Sogetsu Exhibition 2023: Glacial Winds

I am delighted to be part of Sogetsu Geneva Chapter's winter exhibition at Ferme Sarasin this year. This exhibition have planned almost two years ago and postponed many times due to covid confinement rules. At last, we are all happy to find each other again in this collective ikebana exercise.

Here I have used tree barks from a fallen tree with bare branches covered with lichen, chardon and other plant material I have collected from open fields and praires around in order to give the glacial feeling of winter winds.    

The three heavy black stoneware vases I used in this composition had been made by my late ceramist teacher, dear Michelle Dethurens.
