" Jean-Paul Jappé, born in Lorient in 1936, followed artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Quimper where he practiced ceramics in the course of Pierre Toulhoat. Invited by his teacher with whom he maintained ties of friendship, he developed some original ceramics in the workshops of the Keraluc factory. Subsequently, he completed his training in Paris at the Académie Charpentier then at the École des Métiers d'Art. Returning to Lorient, first with the architect Henri Conan, he became a teacher at the École of Art where he worked from 1970 to 1996. At the beginning of his career, his work was marked by abstract art, then he asserted figurative subjects painted on the motif. The Breton departmental museum has a beautiful collection of ceramics of 19 pieces modeled, glazed and decorated by Jean-Paul Jappé in Keraluc in 1960" cf keraluc.com
