Ceramics exhibition | Nathalie Barbet

Summer is in full swing at Le Pot à l’Envers, and we are delighted to present three new temporary exhibitions throughout the month of August. We invite you to visit our community-run shop, which brings together 12 potters from the greater Southwest region year-round. Located right across from the famous Saint-Pierre Abbey in Moissac, we invite you to discover the diversity of our creations and those of our guests. Nathalie Barbet, a ceramist based in the Gers region, will present her porcelain works. Hand-modeled, they give rise to spherical forms adorned with organic and botanical motifs inspired by the aquatic world, freely reinterpreted. These pieces evoke a dreamlike universe, where the fragility of ecosystems, polychromy, and the poetry of forms intersect. Her work explores the precarious balance between humans and nature—a dialogue worth preserving. Emmanuel Barrère and Christophe de Bellefroid will be guest members of our association, Terres Neuves du Sud-Ouest. Emmanuel is based in Haute-Garonne: “As a plant lover, I developed a passion for throwing pots and planters that stand out from the ordinary in terms of their shapes and colors. ” Christophe also works in Haute-Garonne. “I work with brush-applied engobes, which are then glazed with wood ash and/or grass-based slip. Fired with wood pellets.”
