The Workshop
" The HAP Workshop is where earth, fire and imagination come together. "
The HAP Workshop is a story of creation and renewal.
After 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry, a question began to haunt me: what if I was just going round in circles? The pace, the responsibilities, the routine (slowly burning me out...)... Little by little, the desire for a life more in tune with my aspirations grew. I needed to find meaning again, to create, and perhaps to try and slow down, because I was living life at full speed... and everything else at 1000%.
Hap began to emerge from my thoughts... Hap comes from Old English, meaning Happy.
Today, Hap has expanded beyond ceramics: stationery, objects from Morocco, leather benches, textiles... a complete world inspired by travel and Mediterranean craftsmanship.
In the workshop, I work with two essential materials: earthenware and stoneware.
Earthenware, soft and luminous, becomes pet bowls, coffee cups made on the wheel, and decorated plates. It is also at the heart of a workshop where anyone can personalize a piece by painting it before I fire and glaze it.
Stoneware, raw and mineral, inspires me to create unique marbled pieces. Using the slab method and the subtle technique of joining two clays, one black and one white, I shape the Marcel platter and the Marbrées plates. Each piece is unique, each marble pattern tells a different story.
Today, I am fully committed to this adventure, driven by the desire to create in small series and to offer pieces that are unique and timeless.
I develop collaborations for decoration projects with interior designers and other tradesmen, in order to design pieces tailored to a space and its constraints.
The HAP Workshop is where earth, fire and imagination come together.
