Awa Sané
Craftsman of stoneware and earthenware pieces, I develop my collections around different themes that combine my Malian and French origins with my current inspirations . Trained in artistic direction and motion design, I transpose my taste for graphic forms and colorful universes into my favorite medium, clay.
My creations, sometimes lively and energizing , sometimes soft and soothing , are thought out from the design to the realization, for their aesthetics , their functionality and their symbolism .
I am committed to creating handmade pieces that have meaning, tell a story , are colorful , harmonious and practical . My ceramics invite us to brighten up our homes and take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

Training
In 2021, I met Augusto Tozzola , Italian master potter, and Maurane Closier , designer-ceramicist, to improve my learning of the wheel and enrich it with gestures and techniques developed by Mr. Tozzola.
Thus I was able to develop my passion which began in adolescence and concretize this love of the earth with a professional certification obtained in 2022, the CAP ceramic throwing.
Anecdotes
I started ceramics, on the potter's wheel, at 13 years old.
I discovered in 2023 that my paternal grandfather made earthenware pots in Mali in the 1950s to 1970s (orders for storage pots for peanuts, cereals, etc.).
I draw a lot of inspiration from nature for my collections but also from the fields of jewelry , fashion photography and artistic makeup .
