The chronicle

So go the little puppets, go, go, go

so go the three little towers, go, go, go, and then they're gone!


The hands disappear.


Hands are all kinds of games for children,

visual games for adults.

Games of all kinds.


Hands?

I... why not?


But it'll be alright.

Hands...

With both hands, if you please


Artists, sculptors, potters, sometimes even painters, craftsmen working with metal, wood, bronze... all work with both hands.


And often when they lose a hand, like Blaise Cendrar, who had his right arm torn off in the First World War. He, who always travelled with a sketchbook, stopped drawing.


In Homo habilis, between 130,000 and 150,000 years ago, it was the hand that developed the brain. The marvellous opposable thumb, learning to pick things up, taught the brain multiple gestures that it repeated and developed.


Two hands!?


But then, why didn't quadrupeds develop their brains in a different way? That's a question: who can answer it?


When the hand is injured, it must be treated so that it can be used again. When it is disabled by the very evolution of the body, surgery is sometimes necessary, as in the case of carpal tunnel syndrome...


Which has prevented me from working over the last few weeks...


What will my brain ask my hands to create in the near future?

More abstract, more imaginary, more dreamlike creations... we'll have to wait and see.

An artist's life is exciting!

Some memories in pictures from 2025.


Thank you to each and every one of you for sharing these joyful, curious, festive, informative and creative moments...

A ‘Spring-Easter’ workshop

Spend an afternoon discovering or rediscovering the pleasure of modelling clay.


This workshop will focus on small pieces related to spring and Easter.

It lasts 3 hours to allow you time for colouring.


Registration can be done by telephone or email.


The workshop will take place with a minimum of 5 participants.

If there are too many of you 😉, I will offer the same workshop on Sunday 8 March.
