The Banquet
© Boigontier
"Under the radiant roof of the Grand Palais, woven to stun us by the most
prodigious of spiders, Revelations, the show devoted to modern artistic fine
craft and creation, is in full swing. Under the immense arachnidan vault, long
tables are set and we are all invited to join the banquet.
Our very presence under this prestigious glass roof, where the French flag flies
proud, is a sign of the prime position currently occupied by artistic craftsmanship
in French society. It is a symptom of our community’s great vitality, and of our
capacity to join forces.
The show has been staged by Adrien Gardère, a scenographer infinitely
respectful of artists and craftsmen, "The large tables and the terraced tribunes combine to form the
image of a banquet, where all objects are centrepieces and where everyone can take place, in total
keeping with the politest of table manners."
Within this setting, objects fully occupy their rightful place, forging the link between the designer and
the visitor. They offer us their original nudity, the prodigy of their creation, the reality of their constituent
matter. Each and every spectator offer equal visibility, clouded neither by hierarchy, nor by walls, nor
by cluttered horizons. It is a world of openwork and transparency that unveils before our eyes, a simple
world, a world with nothing behind, nothing to hide.
These material artists know the secret of man’s place on Earth. Revelations is offering its visitors the right
to observe it; it also offers them the privilege of appreciating the deep harmony that exists between
man and the world, the strong allegiance between culture and nature. And it resides in a craftsman’s
workshop.
In today’s ever-changing world, the potential of artistic craftworkers is immense: they are the expression,
the very soul of our nation. They represent what the French do better than anyone else: forging the
link between the past, that guardian of our roots - steeped in culture, and innovation, that exalting
experience that thrusts us into what will be, securing our presence in the future. They are capable,
through provocation, of electrifying our highly-respected values. A quest that, today, everyone strives
for.
Such is the experience offered by Revelations.
My warmest thanks go all those who have played a part in helping put this edition together – the
members of the artistic committee, Norway, honoured guest, and all the exhibitors and partners who
have all contributed, by our side, to making Revelations an international brilliance."

A FEW WORDS BY HENRI JOBBÉ-DUVAL, GENERAL COMMISSIONER
Revelations, the international biennial of fine craft and creation, will be
among the autumn season’s wealth of major events. For its first edition,
more than 260 exhibitors from across the globe will be unveiling their
extraordinary skill and know-how. Artistic craftworkers, art manufacturers,
houses of excellence, galleries, editors and associations... will be
presenting a comprehensive overview of international creation within an
exceptional setting.
Revelations, an economic and cultural event, will be offering visitors - be
they art enthusiasts, collectors, professionals or young students - an opportunity to discover, along
the show’s vast central display tables, the exceptional pieces that are currently enthusing the world
of artistic craftsmanship.
This presentation will be enhanced, not only by a series of conferences given by specialists,
but also by exhibitions and films projected at the international film festival on clay and glass.
Encounters and exchanges with major contributors towards the world of art and craft will be at the
heart of this five-day event.
Finally, Norway will be writing one of the early pages of Revelations’ history by being the first
country of honour to be invited to the show, illustrating the commitment to dialogue between artistic
cultures. Hence, Revelations will unveil an exceptional and resolutely innovative creative scene.
I would like to thank all of the show’s partners for their support and their trust in the future of
Revelations. And before setting our next rendezvous, two years from now, I hope that our exhibitors
will make many a fruitful encounter, and our visitors many an inspiring discovery.

1st HOLDING OF REVELATIONS FAIR,
INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL of FINE CRAFT AND CREATION
Between the 11th and 15th of September, Ateliers d’Art de France is organizing* Revelations, the
first and only biennial dedicated to contemporary crafts. Staged in the magnificent setting of the
Grand Palais, Revelations will shine a light on the creativity and the excellence of our know-how
on an international level.
For five days all visitors, professionals and private individuals alike, will discover the world of crafts
thanks to unique pieces of art that have marked history, while also getting the chance to meet some
unforgettable people.
These meetings will take place within the framework of a set of conferences involving professional
speakers as well as previously unheard of exhibitions, screening of films about crafts, and even
workshops for the little ones.
For this first holding, Adrien Gardère is in charge of the scenography.
His goal is to provide Revelations with its very own architecture and to set all participants on an
equal footing so that they all feel that they are part of the same story regardless of their notoriety,
the scope of their company or the size of their stall. Adrien Gardère points to the glue that holds
them all together: their mastery of a unique know-how.
Revelations has decided to give pride of place to Norway for its first holding.
* With Reed Expositions (as a partner for logistics and technical matters)

norway : guest of honour
For its inaugural edition, Revelations has chosen
Norway, one of Ateliers d’Art de France’s historic and royal partners, as guest of honour.
Norwegian Crafts, the organisation in charge of promoting
Norwegian artistic craftsmanship in international
exhibitions, has selected 14 Norwegian artists, some of whom already benefit from international renown,
others representing a young generation full of promise. The selection of artwork includes glass, textile and ceramic, along with jewellery creations via which each artist offers
a personal approach to both tradition and innovation.
The exhibition has been developed in partnership with
Marianne Zamecznik, an internationally renowned
scenographer. She has chosen to highlight the prime
position occupied by Norwegian Crafts under the Grand
Palais’ spectacular dome, seeking inspiration from its glass
and steel architecture to create a swathing and dynamic
scenographic structure.

WELCOME TO THE ROYAL BANQUET !
"Adrien Gardère, with a majestic simplicity, with complicity, has imagined and designed it!
Ateliers d’Art de France wanted it as a foundation initiative, who reveals creative powerfull which
rules in a carftworkshop.
Artists of the matterial, craftwrokes, designers, visual artist, sculptors, they settled there, gathered
by the royalty of the creation.
Antoine Leperlier, with his sovereign artistic vision committed to contemporary glass creation,
introduces us to it."
Serge Nicole,
President of Ateliers d’Art de France
Breaking the banks
"[...] Indeed, an increasing number of
visual artists and designers are asserting
the importance of making in art, paying
particular attention to how materials are used.
By opening a shared space for all these artistic
disciplines, by bringing all works associated with
making and materials to the same table, without
regard to specific or certified production methods,
this 'banquet' aims at abolishing hierarchy
between art forms and genres, and at challenging
the legitimacy of dogmatic discriminations
that vainly oppose making and not making,
concept and material, and that seek to legislate
as to what is 'contemporary' and what is not.
[...]. This exhibition will create an opportunity to
gauge the degree of emancipation, in certain
fields of art practice, from the technical domain
to which they have for too long been relegated,
and the extension of the scope of contemporary
art practice. It will demonstrate that academic
discrimination, more-or-less in keeping with
historical methods and moments in history, no
longer stand when the 'border' controls that
separate artistic domains and artistic practice
are relaxed. Furthermore, the layout of this table
will only allow a single horizontal interpretation,
with works devoid of wordy museography; the
unmediated and admiring eye will not be subject
to any prejudice arising from pre-established
categories, and will judge for itself [...]."

AMONG THE 107 PIECES PRESENTED AT THE BANQUET...

Josepha Gasch-Muche
Among other things, the Clara Scremini Gallery
offers a glimpse into the caustic world of Josepha
Gasch-Muche, whose workshop is based in
Germany. The artist uses very simple geometric
objects, to which she systematically sticks
fragments of glass that are actually countless
pieces of mobile phone screens. This creates a
surprisingly sophisticated result, reflecting a set of
scattered visions of the world around us.

Antoine Leperlier
Antoine Leperlier would describe himself as
a handyman rather than the heir to ancestral
glass-blower know-how. The main goal of the
technical processes that he creates is to bring
out the temporal resonance contained within his
chosen material. All these are reduced to minutes,
to moments in time, to frozen instants. For him,
glass is to time what marble and bronze are to
space.
Eva Hild

An enormous sculpture by Swedish ceramist Eva
Hild, offered by the NeC nilsson and chiglien
gallery, reveals, like some sort of personal
architecture, its intimate state, the order within
chaos. The inside becomes the outside; you leave
it only to return. Many trips back and forth are
necessary to visit this rhythmic piece, its sensual
skin, and its desirable curves with decidedly
prominent edges
Alain Mailland
Playing off the singularity and the individual
property of each flawed stone and root collected
in the Midi, Alain Mailland develops unique
hybrid forms. His Pavillon des Etoiles (house of
stars), of formerly green, now white hackberry
wood, reaches up with playful arms to tickle a
sky that seems more desirable than its terrestrial
counterpart.

Benoît Huot
Creations by Benoît Huot are all based on
naturalized animals decorated with ribbons, lace
and trinkets, giving them a look of wild fetishes,
sacred animals, or characters from children’s
books.
"Once you’ve finished staring at them, Benoît
Huot’s animals will go on haunting you day and
night."
Michel Azama, June 2012

Sebastian Brajkovic
The Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents a
piece from the Lathe series by designer Sebastian
Brajkovic. The artist rethinks and overhauls the
usage and shape of furniture thanks to the effects
of movement and deployment, enhanced by light
that is captured by woven patterns.

Monica Guggisberg et Philip Baldwin
Or how to keep things big. These two glass blowers
have been taking us for a ride (in a glass boat) for
years. But always in a simple and virtuous way,
with a sense of light and an approach that is easy
to identify. The Long Voyage: Memories, Tears,
Joy drifts along, 9 meters packed with amphoras
and memories, individual matter that has become
shared.

Maïté Tanguy
Maïté Tanguy is made of iodine, Brittany and
string. This textile artist presents an installation of
winkles, a sensitive variation made from wool, silk
and metal that plays off light and reflections.

Paul Day
British Paul Day, who created the famous Lovers
statue in Saint-Pancras station in London, is
entrusting us with one of his new bronze figures
that uses humor and irony to convey how we

FORT ROYAL AND JEAN-MARC GADY MAKE THEIR COLLABORATION OFFICIAL
Fort Royal unites the best crafters in their
field, as recognized by their peers. High
standards, rigor, authenticity, precision, and
an incredible passion: these are the qualities
that all members of Fort Royal have in common.
For the Révélations fair, Fort Royal has asked
one of today’s up-and-coming French designers,
Jean-Marc Gady, to create a set of pieces that
show off the overlapping skills of each craft
represented within the group.
The work involved in this collaboration is proof
that crafts are a very special way of expressing
contemporary design when it is a bearer of
emotion. Fort Royal is thrilled to see the dream of
an entire line of work come true: a trade fair that
gives so much more to arts and crafts : Revelations!

THE GRANDS ATELIERS DE FRANCE CELEBRATE THEIR 20TH BIRTHDAY
The Grands Ateliers de France association, which
currently includes 65 houses and 98 different
handicrafts, will be celebrating its 20th birthday at
the Revelations trade fair.
65 members will be exhibiting 58 pieces, most of
them created specially for Revelations, including
some resulting from collaborations between
several workshops: engraving, embossing, printing
and lithography, goldsmithery and jeweler’s craft,
fashion and accessories, design, interior design,
cabinet-making, lacquer, glass and stained glass,
sculpture, ironwork, instrument making, models
and complicated mechanisms, etc.
By highlighting their skills in handling rare
materials and applying unique know-how, they
have succeeded in presenting pieces with an
exceptionally high standard of quality.
To celebrate their birthday, which is a proof
of longevity and energy that are rare within
associations, the Grands Ateliers are publishing
an art book, 'Le Temps Traversé', sanctioned by
Plume Création, as well as a modern version of
their website. www.grandsateliersdefrance.com
The Grands Ateliers de France would not have
been able to exhibit at the first Biennial of crafts
and creation without the support of the following
people, whom they extend their warmest thanks
to: - Franz Wassmer
- Jean Bergeron
- AREPIL
- CIPRéS VIE

NATIONAL MANUFACTORIES
Ever since they came to life, the Cité de la céramique and the Mobilier national have always strived to
achieve a blend of their know-how with the talent of the best creators of their time. These two institutions
are now presenting a selection of recent creations that have come to life thanks to a thriving communication
between the artists and the art technicians of the ministry of Culture and Communication.
The selection - a piece of porcelain, an item of furniture and a contemporary rug - reflects the resonances
that are visible in the artistic creations of each institution, while bringing to mind their contribution to the
renewal of shapes, of home furnishings and decor, including for the national palaces. An audio-visual
animation introduces you to these houses, revealing the trade secrets and the beauty of each movement
involved in the world of creation.
Sèvres has decided to present one of its most
exceptional creations, the 'Louis XXI', a human
shaped piece of porcelain born from a close
collaboration between Italian architect and
designer Andrea Branzi and the institution, as a
co-edition with Mouvements Modernes.
dimension, was inspired by the traditional wording
used for Sèvres porcelain and decided to integrate
this meaningful tradition into his work of art: mounted

the most firmly rooted traditions.
A table centerpiece made up of eleven separate
items of soft porcelain, designed in 2010 in a
limited series of eight, it is extremely refined, with
subtle skin tones and light, flowing shapes. Andrea
Branzi, who is known for his talent for granting
meaning to objects in their human and cultural
"Louis XXI is a sovereign who survived the French
Revolution by remaining incognito… today, he is
offering us a gift from the past, the erotic matter of
his human porcelains, at the crossroads of genetics
and design." Andrea Branzi, 2009

Le Mobilier national has chosen to present the
carbon fiber desk created in 2010, by the
Research and Creation workshop based on an
idea by Christian Ghion. In the briefing note
introducing the desk along with several other items
designed in the same spirit, Ghion details his
approach: "to free myself from any preconceived
ideas, I envisioned myself as a researcher, a mixed
media artist, and an architect. These propositions
speak of my passion for organic universes, where
void is as important as matter… where the invisible
and the visible go hand in hand. Inside plays with
outside and hides its trail… the use of carbon
fiber, a natural and elementary product, was a
spontaneous and obvious choice."
Next, the Christian Ghion house presents a
knotted pile rug, 'Les Javels', created in 2012 by
the Savonnerie manufactory based on a model
by Julien Gardair: "Designing a carpet was first
and foremost about paying tribute to the Orient
and confronting myself with the question of what
the word 'decorative' implies. This is why in the
cardboard you’ll find elements that resemble the
spandrels, the pattern, the border, the limitation of
elements and colors. We also needed to grasp the
3
fact that the rug goes on the floor and is looked
at from above, that you see more of it by moving
around it, etc. The other sensitive issue for me was
the decorative concept. This word often has a
derogatory connotation and is used to qualify what
lacks spirit in our minds. However, when you read
Matisse, you realize just how noble this word can
be. This is why thinking of the decorative aspect for
me meant trying to turn the question of the author
around; moving away from the foreground and
leaving things open enough that you can make
them yours and live with them."

of their jewels. For each step in the creation of
a LauClem jewel, the brand has three guiding
principles: acute attention to detail, delicacy and
consistency.

Franck Sorbier is a poet and a dreamer. He thinks
of himself as a 'technical designer' in the tradition of
the renowned master craft artists known as Master

the designer worked on layers of tulle, and his
signature theme from the very beginning has been
the transformation of simple, precious, invariably
noble materials. His nimble fingers transform lace,
tulle, horsehair and silk to reveal pure moments of
grace and refined elegance, demonstrating a rare
passion for nature.
Since its creation in 1919, Edgard Hamon’s
fashion house has been part of the effervescent
and continually changing world of haute couture.
Based in the centre of Paris, it has built up a
reputation over the years in the world of couture
and luxury ready-to-wear fashion, notably as a
manufacturer of belts and costume jewellery.
Designated a ‘Living Heritage Company’, the firm

Collaborative partnerships: Maison Parisienne,

Tzuri Gueta has a Masters’ degree in textile
engineering. He has developed and patented
"Silicon Lace": when introduced within textile, liquid
silicon solidifies, creating disturbing volumes that
are reminiscent of human skin to the touch. This
particularly innovative process, which can be used
to create jewellery, suspensions and textiles, is of
particular appeal to the fashion design industry
thanks to its capacity to imitate organic or vegetal
textures. The first encounter is visual; the second is
tactile. The sensuality of this astounding matter can
only be appreciated when you wear the jewels and
stroke them – when you let them glide along your
skin. The organic shapes find an echo in our flesh
and arouse our reptilian memory.
Miki Nakamura studied paper making at the
Osaka University of Arts. She works with white
mulberry tree bark which she draws out and
models into artistic forms. Her sculptures are of
unique intricacy; genuine ethereal lace, sometimes
luminous, their inspiration stems simply from
the plant or animal worlds: flowers, bubbles,
butterflies... Miki Nakamura also uses paper
to produce decorative objects for the home,
along with her partner, Jean-Michel Letellier.

they were made. His ambition is to offer truly
luxurious umbrellas and parasols that have nothing
in common with the standard industrial products. To
achieve this, he uses taffeta, organza, silk pongee,
linen and cotton, mounted on the finest wood
types. His mission is to pass on his experience to
future generations so that this unique skill does not
die out.

Sculptor ceramistes

More than just lights, Bastien Carré creates luminous
sculptures whose very structure is exclusively
comprised of LEDs and wiring which are welded
using a personally developed technique. Bastien
Carré, has invented the term 'lumigrapher' to
describe the work involved in creating these
volumes, which redefine light in a 3-dimensional
form. Today, his unique and incomparably delicate
pieces are exhibited and sold across the globe. For
this event, he is creating a monumental sculpture: the
most voluminous of all his creations.
The Barry Friedman ltd gallery of New York has,
for the past 40 years, been a leading reference in
the international art market, bringing 20th century
art (Fine Arts and decorative Arts) to the attention of
the American public. For the Revelations show, the
Collection gallery in Paris and the Barry Friedman
gallery in New-York are joining forces to offer an
exceptional presentation of work by the American
artist Akio Takamori. The sculptor, who studied at
the New state College of Ceramics, transforms
his childhood memories in japan into striking
and incredibly expressive slip-covered stoneware
figurines, which he endows with both joy and
innocence. his chubby japanese-inspired figures
bear witness to his extremely acute sense of colour
and his great freedom of creative expression.

Fascinated by Japanese wooden architecture,
popular art and the shape of form sarcophagi,
the British artist Julian Schwarz carves out ash,
oak and cherry tree trunks to form containers of
all sorts (urns, bowls, cups...) with clean lines and
geometric precision. His 'vessels' are appropriately
named, for some of his outsized pieces weigh up
to 45 kg. His powerful and symbolic work always
bears the mark of his manual tools.

Lacroix,
After training as a fashion designer and gaining
experience in women’s fashion, Isabelle Léourier
turned to textile sculpture and headpieces. Her
creativity and freedom of expression are stimulated
by the relationship between the body in movement
and the eyes, which are the mirror of the soul. Her
conception of an elegant headpiece-sculpture falls
somewhere between a hat and a hair jewel, yet
not quite one or the other. Her work draws on a
vision based on balance and airiness combined
with a subtle play on lines, colours, matter and
light.
Nelly Saunier
Feather worker
Master of Art
Paris
Collaborative partnerships: Nina Ricci, Givenchy,
Jean-Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Luc Besson...
Nelly Saunier is one of the last representatives of a
unique artistic profession: feather-workers.
For over thirty years she has been perpetuating an
ancient skill that used to enchant kings and princes,
when merrymaking was a must and costumes had
to be as luxurious as possible, to dazzle and delight
the onlooker. She likes to conjure up the candour of
nature: "Birds are born elegant; their appearance
is not a lie. They are free in the way they express
their beauty. That is the kind of spontaneity and
expression that I share. A feather is pure emotion."

THE INSTITUT FRANCAIS EXHIBITIONS
The Institut français, the French ministry of foreign Affairs’ agency for cultural action abroad is presenting at
Revelations two of its travelling exhibitions: Tableaux Tables and LuxInsinde.
Tableaux Tables – Les arts de la table, design et
savoir-faire traditionnel
LuxInside – Les traces de l’Homme
The Tableaux Tables exhibition - offer an
opportunity to highlight some collaborative
partnerships between 38 French designers and
23 tableware manufacturing houses. Major
names in French crockery, cutlery and crystal
(such as Baccarat, Bernardaud, Christofle…)
have called upon renowned designers and
young artists (Philippe Starck, Jean-Charles
de Castelbajac, Olivier Gagnère…) to work
on modernising their product ranges. The
exhibition will reunite ten 60 x 120cm
tables, which will be presented like paintings,
each one depicting a different meal. The
exhibition scenography is the work of the
stylist Olivier Guillemin and the architect and
designer Olivier Védrine.
Commissioner: Elisabeth Couturier, art critic.
The very essence of luxury consists in never revealing
any trace of the manual work accomplished, in
order to exclusively preserve an elegant expression
that erases all sign of associated effort. It is an
essence we strive to achieve, even at the risk of
losing sight of the skills required to produce such
luxury, and the implementation of the latest in
innovative technology. The LuxInside exhibition,
the product of a collective artistic network, presents
fourteen photographs of iconical luxury objects,
which have been imaged by a scanner and which
unveil, for example, the interior of a Cadolle corset,
of a Hermès saddle or a Louboutin court shoe.
Laurence Picot, Jean-François Paul, Sylvain
Ordureau and Ricardo Escobar, have perfected
a protocol that would literally plunge the
spectator into the heart of these luxury objects.
The 14 originals objects will be presented.
Commissioner: Laurence Picot, journalist.

SYMPOSIUM "ART, CREATION AND SOCIETY: OVER TO THE ARTISTS"
Thursday 12 September 8.00 -11.00PM Auditorium of Grand Palais
La Maison des Artistes and Ateliers d’Art de France are two professional organisations, which, ever since their
creation, have been devoted to promoting, representing, defending and developing their members’ activities,
whether they specialise in images or matter. With current talks of overhauling the social security system of
artists-authors, it was natural for these two institutions to team up and share their point of view on the
professional reality of creators, and on the full integration of craftworkers into the social system of artists-authors.
With the idea in mind that image and matter artists are authors, creators and designers first and foremost, La
Maison des Artistes and Ateliers d’Art de France are organising 2 symposiums with the title "Art, creation and
society: over to the artists". The first one will take place at Revelations.
THEME 1: DO ARTISTS MAKE ART ?
- What is an artist ?
- The artist’s place in society.
THEME 2: ART AND CREATION
- The question of 'making' in art.
- The challenges of the creation process.
- Co-production and collaboration.
THEME 3: THE FRENCH CULTURAL EXCEPTION IS IN DANGER. TIME TO ACT!
- Saving the wealth of cultural diversity.
- Down with stereotypes, what is an artists 'real' daily life ?
- Artists of image, artists of matter: all creators!

Successfully handing over a Craft business.
Artistic craftsmanship and auction: a new deal?
The aim of this round table is to offer an insight
into the key ingredients that ensure the success and
the longevity of Craft businesses. An overview of
transmission strategies implemented by business
leaders to preserve their know-how, their production
tools and their integrity, will be presented via
testimonies by companies boasting exemplary
longevity.
Artistic craft and creation made their grand entry
into public sales a few years ago and the movement
appears to be intensifying. Initially an alternative
mode of dissemination and recognition of creators
and their know-how, auctions specifically devoted to
the craft trade could well assert a sustainable role
comparable to that of other fields of visual art, hence
contributing towards determining a merchant value.
Our speakers, all specialists in the field, will present
the mechanisms that have been implemented and the
changes they have noted.
Thursday 12 September
6.00 - 7.00pm
The role and the place of State manufacturing
houses in the Craft Trade.
Through their specific economic model and their
attributed missions, the vocation of manufacturing
houses, a pure product of Colbertism, is to preserve
ancestral skills and know-how, whilst challenging
them via a constant quest for innovation. These
founding principles prevail to this very day and are
complemented by business creation mechanisms.
The Sèvres - Cité de la céramique and Mobilier
National manufacturing houses will be presenting
their respective action and the links they have forged
with creation.
Friday 13 September
Saturday 14 September
2.30 - 3.30pm
The master of art and his student: transmission
at the heart of relations
Masters of Art place the question of transmission at the
heart of the master-student relationship, well beyond
the simple notion of know-how. The interpersonal
relationship that reunites the Master of Art with his
student, as a mentor, embraces all notions of identity,
of 'action', of art, of self, of our place in society
and of the meaning of what we do. Feedback on
Master-student experiences.
10.30 -11.30am
The vocation and mission of foundations in the
Craft Trade.
Lists of speakers, visit
www.revelations-grandpalais.com
Whilst the number of foundations associated with
artistic craftsmanship has been constantly on the
increase over recent years, each and every one
has its own specific vocation, offering professionals
a range of support and coaching services that are
as dense as they are crystal clear. The foundations
present at the event will be illustrating the natural link
that reunites the world of philanthropic action and the
world of artistic craftsmanship and creation.

Nicolas Silhol | France | 2006 | 26 min |
For more than four centuries, the potters of Puisaye produced
stoneware by baking clay at the extraordinary temperature of
1 300°C. Stoneware was then replaced by new materials and
the large Puisaye kilns were soon abandoned. However, four
years ago, a potter from Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, François Eve,
decided to use a kiln that had been inactive for half a century.
Since 1740, the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres has been
producing porcelain artistic objects in accordance with purely
manual techniques, handed down from generation to generation.
In every era, the imagination and talent of artists have been
combined with the know-how of craftsworkers to give the
establishment its identity. Today, the Manufacture devotes more
than half its production to contemporary creativity, enabling artists
to discover porcelain. This film shows the vitality of the dialogue
between the contemporary artists and craftsworkers of this Cité
de la céramique.

Rupert Spira is one of Britain’s finest studio potters. The film

Spira’s home in Shropshire, "River of words" is a contemplative
film, giving a glimpse into Rupert’s daily working practice.
