Jacques Monneraud is a ceramicist and designer based in the southwest of France. Before devoting himself to ceramics, he pursued a career as a creative director in advertising in Paris, during which he received numerous international distinctions, including a Gold Lion at Cannes. In 2021, he left that world to reconnect with a manual, instinctive practice. Coming from a family of artists and craftspeople; a mother who is a painter and sculptor, a carpenter grandfather, and a painter great-grandfather; this return to working with materials felt only natural. At the potter’s wheel, Jacques Monneraud rediscovers gesture, slow time, and pure creation.
