Mathilde Sauce

Mathilde Sauce is an artist whose chosen mediums are clay and glaze. These materials not only require immense effort and patience but also provide unparalleled freedom to create volume, form, and color. She was first captivated by the unique malleability of clay during her preparatory year at the Municipal School of Fine Arts in Châteauroux, France. There, she instantly recognized the boundless possibilities that ceramics had to offer. Following that formative year, she decided it was imperative to continue her studies in a school equipped with a ceramics studio. Sauce enrolled at the ENSA in Bourges for her initial three years of study, where she experimented with various materials. Eventually, she focused her artistic energy solely on stoneware sculpture and concluded her formal education at the ENSA in Limoges.

To further refine her skills, she completed the “Ceramist” course offered by the Maison de la Céramique du Pays de Dieulefit in the Drôme Provençale region. This training gave her the independence to work with diverse methods of shaping clay, including stoneware and porcelain, and mastering multiple glazing and firing techniques. Today, Mathilde Sauce manages every stage of her artistic process— from shaping to firing and even creating her own unique glazes— in her Limoges studio. Her ongoing research continually leaves her more amazed and inspired each day.
