Sculptors
The sculptures on display are signed and numbered from 1 to 8 or are artist's proofs (EA).
The basic technique has not changed over the centuries. After modelling a wax object, it is covered with a clay mixture, baked, which empties the wax, and then the bronze is cast. All that remains is to break the clay mould to see the object appear.
The patinas require a great deal of know-how. The sculpture obtained after casting is generally golden yellow in colour. Depending on the desired effect, different products can be applied to oxidise the metal.
Sculptures can be made in different colours, mostly in shades of green, ranging from dark to light, mordre, navy blue.

Ceramists
Some unique ceramic pieces representing bowls and curved bottles are exhibited at Galerie Saint-Roch.
Strongly influenced by the Raku technique, a quick firing manufacturing technique developed in Japan in the 16th century, ceramists use a more solid chamotte stoneware because the stoneware has to withstand wide temperature variations.
