Flora's main source of inspiration comes from nature, the one she grew up around in Southwest of France. Her preference goes to simple patterns and shapes with an organic twist, natural colours, muted tones and tactile textures. She works mainly with stoneware clays, fired in an electric kiln, navigating through all building techniques to create her vessels.
She loves rustic clays with a strong personality and a story to tell: wild clays, gritty clays, black clays, iron-rich clays. Their rusticity is a reminder that pottery belongs to our human history. The weight of this legacy is maybe the reason why she feels drawn to functional pieces which can be used and reused around the house, often in various ways, as opposed to strictly decorative ones. She likes to elevate rawness to a state of modern elegance in a functional vessel by incorporating foraged or waste materials in her makes: it can be dry grasses bundled in a brush to apply slip with the hakeme method, wood-ashes which she incorporates in her glazes or a wild clay, foraged down a river bed to apply as a brushed-on engobe.
