François DEBIEN (born in 1959).

In the works ofFrançois DEBIEN, one can discern the influence of the renowned ceramicists with whom he trained: Philippe DUBUC, inspired by Japanese masters, Helena KLUG, a specialist in high-temperature glazes, and Vincent Potier.

His personal technique is based on long and patient research into glazing, to which he lends a light, poetic touch, inspired by nature. Firing the glazes in the large gas kiln is a lengthy process lasting between 12 and 16 hours; the pieces are fired twice: first a bisque firing at 960°, followed by a second firing at 1320°

Shino glazes (feldspar glazes of Japanese origin) are used to brush-paint natural motifs: birds, trees, and aquatic animals.

Her works have been featured in gallery exhibitions in Paris, Sèvres, Lyon, and Deventer in the Netherlands… They have also been displayed in numerous museums
