WELCOME

The purpose of this site is to share my pottery creations with family and friends – and with others who similarly find inspiration and amusement in the animal world. And yes, if you like what you see, I do commissions and regularly sell off work when I run out of space!

About Zandra

I started working with clay at school, and I’ve continued learning throughout my travels. My studio is now based in a 10^th-century château in a small village in the Jura Mountains*, where I’m inspired by the birds and animals that surround me…as well as those further afield. Nature is full of humour. Exaggerated shapes and personalities make me smile.

*Come and stay in our guest rooms at www.chateaudesothonod.com and discover the sources of my inspiration.

Zandra's Work - Portfolio

I use black, white or red clay for my nature-inspired pieces. The smaller ones are often hollowed out of solid blocks of clay and then shaped according to whim. Larger pieces are first rolled out in slabs before being modelled to suit. They are then ‘biscuit’ fired in my electric kiln, glazed (or not), before being fired again. Most live with us for a while, indoors or outside, before leaving for good homes.
