Collector and passionate about the work of Jacques Blin, it took me three years to write a book that wanted to pay homage to the ceramist.
Jacques is a story bearer: he has turned his back on a great scientific career to work with his hands on the earth and to defend with his heart the crafts.
Beyond his life and his artistic work, it is also the stories of the Chambre Syndicale des Céramistes and the Salon des Ateliers d'Art, which will have the Maison & Objet salon.
Ceramist, political activist, Jacques Blin is above all a poet of the Earth.
His iconography invites the dream: the spirit flies away and wanders in a universe rocked with puzzles.
But this universe is not beyond the real, it is at the border or rather at the crossroads of worlds, forgotten civilizations and society. It is a journey that leads to the stories of Origins and Traditions, intersecting with the Wild and the Sacred.
If Jacques Blin is a dreamer, he is above all a storyteller in the contemporary city of ceramics.
