Classic French Ceramics Reinvented

April 22, 2015

Founded in 1976 by Nicole and Claude Hurtault, Les Guimards ceramics is located near the village of Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye in Burgundy, France, where pottery has been made since the Middle Ages. Now run by Nathalie and Christophe Hurtault, the children of the founders, the workshop is devoted to experimenting with new forms and glazes, including subtle pastels. Select pieces are available from Table Art in Los Angeles and Darkroom in London.
