Camille Virot
Bol,
Raku
Camille Virot studied ceramics at the School of Fine Art in Besancon and then studied decorative arts at the school of fine art in Strasbourg.
In 1972 Camille Virot started his own studio in Provence and began to work with raku.
Since 1976, he has been sharing his time between a teaching activity
(Organising training sessions and being a consultant in art schools),
and the search for his own artistic expression inspired by the traditional
notions of Japanese Raku.
Since 1990 Camille Virot has been incorporating different materials like wood, metal and paint in his ceramics.
In 1985 he created “les Dossiers d’Argile” (the clay files), an irregularly occuring publication centred on the reflection of contemporary ceramics.
