Ceramic Cutlery Rest - Artichoke

Patricia Sardy (Pamine) is a French artist born in Dijon and currently based in the small village of Montélier in the Drôme department.

Having spent decades exploring diverse artistic mediums such as painting, drawing and bronze sculpture among others, Patricia is now predominantly working with clay. 

With a background in traditional ceramics, she has spent years experimenting with various techniques—ranging from wheel-throwing to sculptural handbuilding—blending the classic with the contemporary. Over time, her work has evolved into whimsical yet intricate pieces, often inspired by nature. 

We commissioned Patricia to create a series of ceramic vegetables intended as cutlery rests but also sculptures in their own right, infusing them with both playful and lifelike qualities. Patricia's work invites viewers to reconsider the everyday, transforming simple forms into objects of art that celebrate the beauty of the organic and the handmade.
