Réjean Côtes

Autodidact, I always be passionate by the idea to make nice permanent objects, devoted to embellish domestic and personal
environment . My goal is to create potteries, which will resist to the test of time and build a more and more close link with the
owner or the users. I believe firmly that an object is more significant if it is made by an individual in a traditional way, than if
it comes from and industrial process. In fact, the simultaneous firing of the glaze and the clay body at high temperature, give a unique character to the stoneware and porcelain pottery. The decorations carved directly in the clay body or trough a layer of coloured slip, make obvious this interaction between the clay and glaze. Finally, the wood-firing of pots, because of the flame circulation and ash deposit, improve outstandingly the warm and uniqueness of each piece.
