Home & Studio
We visited ceramic artists Jon & Neu at their beautiful home & studio in Auribeau, Provence, last year, where we were introduced to their material-led practice. Light streamed into their living and working spaces and they were surrounded by greenery, blue skies and the Luberon mountains.
Having trained in Japan, the duo work together to create hand built stoneware vessels shaped by their connection to the surrounding landscape. Each vessel has a gently tapered form narrowing towards a small opening. Their raw, matte surfaces are built up with layers of locally gathered and refined clays, creating subtle variations in colour and texture. Small irregularities and traces of the hand remain visible, giving each piece its own character.
