Cosmo ceramics

  • • Lana studied ceramics at Namseoul University, Korea
  • • She is able to compose stones with powdered minerals
  • • She takes a mathematical approach to enamel making

Lana Ruellan is a French ceramicist; the freedom of creating with one's hands and the endless possibilities ceramics offers, made her fall for this craft. “I have fun with codes, values to make people think, smile or dream.” After a background in product design, she pursued her studies in Art-Ceramics at Les Arts Décoratifs, in Strasbourg. Lana draws her inspiration from animals, as well as curious and ancient musical instruments. Her technical rigour allows her to break new ground, notably with sculpture and enamel techniques. Lastly, Lana pushed her research to a cosmic dimension. Following the chemical properties of powdered minerals, she is able to compose stones. A surprising project. Committed to share her passion, Lana also works as a ceramic teacher.
