About Me
My name is Maguelonne Ival. I grew up in France, travelled around the world and have been living in Oregon (USA) since 2004. That’s where I started ceramics and never let go.
More About Me
I first fell in love with Colored Clay and Nerikomi designs but in the last couple of years I have also been exploring the technique of colored slip which I explain more in details here and here. Another part of my my practice is creating functional and sculptural ceramic work using the “mobius strip” shape as a starting point.
The pandemic was the nudge I needed to focus on my art and create my company “Terre des Oules” . “Terre des Oules” means something like “Land of Ceramics” in French but there are several layers to its meaning. If you’re curious to know more, click HERE.
Besides ceramics, I also love writing and teaching . One of my articles about the Portland Ceramic Showcase was published in Oregon ArtsWatch (read HERE) and I occasionally teach Nerikomi workshops around Oregon. I also attend art fairs and exhibits my art in galleries around Oregon. Check this page for upcoming markets and this page for past and upcoming exhibitions.
I hope my ceramic art will inspire you and find a place of choice in your home.
