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. The duo work together to create hand built stoneware vessels shaped by their training in Japan and 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.
