The objective is to provide learners with the tools they need to design and create their own architectural object. This involves key steps such as drawing, making cardboard models, and exploring textures on the earth during the course, while stimulating their curiosity, boldness, and taste for experimentation.
At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to:
- Build a study model of a small cardboard stool
- Prepare the earth, make earth slabs and cut them
- Recognize the right consistency of the earth and assemble the slabs
- Manage the drying of a piece to avoid cracks and deformations
- Know the different techniques for creating textures on the earth and create your own vocabulary
Create functional ceramic furniture using an architectural approach
Day 1
Morning: Presentation of each person, presentation of Laetitia Perrin's work, drawing of the object to be created
Afternoon: sharing of each person's drawings and creations, preparation of the clay and the plates
Day 2
Morning: creation of the cardboard model of the stool
Afternoon: sharing of each person's creations and cutting of the plates and assembly
Day 3
Morning: finishing of the piece created, preparation of plates for the texture research work
Afternoon: search for tools to print the clay, visits to workshops (which could feed the research by using specific tools)
Day 4
Morning: testing textures on the prepared plates and creation of textures on the final piece
Afternoon: presentation of the different consistencies of the clay and the different techniques to use to create your constructed, architectural pieces
Day 5
Morning: assembly of additional pieces according to the research of textures and introduction of the work of oxides during enameling to sublimate the textures
Afternoon: feedback on the training and questions, organization of planning for the firing of the pieces
Tidying up the workshop
Laetitia Perrin, DPLG architect, has devoted more than twenty years of her career to the architecture department of Louis Vuitton. She has designed and built around sixty stores around the world, working on various elements such as volumes, lighting, materials, wall coverings, furniture, as well as FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment). From the initial design to the final implementation, these projects have given her the opportunity to collaborate with creators, artisans and various cultures, thus enriching her creative and technical approach.
Subsequently, she took charge of the development of concepts and furniture, as well as the research and development of materials and the sourcing of artisans.
Since 2006, Laetitia Perrin has trained in ceramics with Patricia Vieljeux in her Parisian workshop, while deepening her mastery through training in the creation of high-temperature enamels and by obtaining a CAP in ceramic turning. This journey, fueled by research, experimentation and constant audacity, has allowed us to explore shapes, materials and textures in depth.
Created in 2024 in Paris and Pantin, Laetitia Perrin Studio is both a creative agency and a craft manufacturing workshop. Specializing in collectible furniture, lighting and ceramic objects, the studio transforms raw materials into exceptional materials to give life to free and functional forms, often imbued with an architectural dimension.
The studio's creations, all unique, include a variety of pieces: murals, furniture, lighting, bas-reliefs, tableware and exceptional objects. These works, both diverse and rich in materiality, weave a unique link between craftsmanship, art and architecture.
The studio also offers a catalog of ceramic textures, designed to meet the needs of its clients in the context of projects
