Ceramic artisans produce works or pieces in clay, stoneware or porcelain. They work with materials by hand using turning, shaping, or moulding techniques. They create limited-edition original products on which they apply surface treatments. They experiment with creative possibilities and manage their small business. This is an exciting profession for creative people with good manual skills and a well-developed aesthetic sense. This career requires being organized, a tolerance for precarity, and a versatile, curious and meticulous personality.
