My name is Pascale and I started Atelier C in 2021 in the grange of my farm in France (Ribeyrolles).

After years of working in the business world, my husband and I made the decision in 2017 to leave everything behind in Belgium and to find peace and nature in the beautiful Dordogne region. The love for the craft of my fellow countrymen and my supporter & daughter-in-law Eline motivated me to walk the creative path and learn how to turn the pot. And so Atelier C was created as a side project next to our tourist activities.

After 2 years I still find it fascinating how I can 'conjure' 'Art de Table' out of a rough lump of clay. The Périgord Noir with its black forests, sunny yellow sandstone 'Pierre de Quercy' and gray caves are my greatest sources of inspiration.

I try to bring a piece of the Dordogne into your living room through my homemade ceramics. The earthy tones and the somewhat rougher character of my designs will enhance your tapas dishes, cakes and many other goodies even more.
