Its charming hostess Sandrine recommends customers pop in regularly because the collections are always changing.
Currently on display at Abysse, works by the ceramist sculptor Dominique Pouchain Son of the ceramicist and painter Jacques Pouchain and the decorator Rolande Pouchain, Dominique began his apprenticeship in his parents workshop in 1973. In 1977 he registered as a craftsman with the Chamber of Trades, producing mainly utilitarian pottery, before devoting himself to his animal sculptures, pieces in a deep mat black that absorbs light due to the use of oxide juice - one of the features of his work. « It is a simple action. That of all potters since the dawn of time. Born of an ancestral tradition much older even than that of the area around Dieulefit where he was born in 1956. It is a timeless action. It wasn’t he who captivated the clay, but the clay which gradually stole his heart... The potters wheel, the stamps, the slip, the alquifou: he used all the tools and materials at his disposal. The pure lines of his pieces say a good deal about that interior mountaintop on which his work is founded. Between shadow and light, for he knows that one inevitably calls for the other. And vice versa… » Lorette Nobécourt High-quality partnerships Determined to offer her customers only the finest quality products, Sandrine carefully selects the brands and designers with whom she works.
