Agathe Larpent

Agathe Larpent, born in Paris in 1946, trained at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art between 1967 and 1970. She settled in Thoard in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, where she still lives today. An emblematic figure of contemporary French ceramics, Agathe Larpent is not one of those artists for whom technique or the creative process take precedence over everything else; she inhabits the space of a singular ceramic expression where clay is metamorphosed, materials and colors blended with the sole aim of appealing to the senses.
