BAL Claire
A degree in automotive engineering in the drawer, then a career in various national newspapers. At the age of 40, however, Claire decided to leave journalism to devote herself to what she had always wanted to do: creating ceramic works with her hands.
Her focus is on interior decoration: decorations, centrepieces, lamps, paintings, but also everyday objects.
In her workshop in Nus, Claire mainly uses stoneware, which she models both on the potter’s wheel and on a plate, also using a special bending technique she developed.
She loves the depth and versatility of high-temperature glazes, particularly in shades of blue.
Attention to aesthetic rendering is her hallmark.
