Profile

Based in Lyon, where she now lives and works, Marguerite Porche has developed a ceramic practice that is at once instinctive, sensitive, and deeply contemporary. Born in 1990 in Toulon, on the Mediterranean coast, she initially intended to pursue a career in health law before making a radical shift toward craftsmanship, choosing to restore a central role to the act of making, the material, and the passage of time.
It was in 2020 that she discovered ceramics, a revelation that transformed her relationship to both her work and her body. Entirely self-taught, she builds her craft through experimentation and develops an intuitive approach to clay, attentive to its physical reactions and its own inherent balance.
Throughout her journey at the Leopon and then Ter-ter studios, her artistic vision has taken shape. Tableware, table accessories, lighting, and small furniture: Marguerite Porche reinvents everyday objects through refined and sensitive forms, constantly exploring the possibilities offered by the material.
In January 2025, she opened her own studio in the heart of Lyon, designed as a space for creation, exhibition, and education. A member of the Ateliers d’Art de France, she continues today to pursue rigorous research into the precision of forms and the balance between functionality and emotion.
