My pottery is influenced by my Mediterranean up bringing in South of France with a love for rich earthly colours and my training as a Civil Drafter that conditioned me for precision and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I love Saggar firing as the process is very meticulous, yet I have no control over the result, giving me a balance.

My work is mainly wheel thrown pottery but also enjoy and teach hand building. Since we have moved to the Blue Mountains, I have been inspired to create my whimsical animals and garden sculptures. What I love about ceramics is that it is a field where you never stop learning or discovering, the possibilities are endless.

I started ceramics 25 years ago at the Canberra Pottery Society. Studied at ANU, Hornsby TAFE and Brookvale, was published in The Australian Ceramics Association and sold my work in France and to American Art collectors. Taught at the Macquarie Hills Potters for 7 years and now running classes and workshops in the Blue Mountains.

Veronique’s work has been published in The Australian Ceramics and she has sold work in France and to American Art collectors.
