Carte Blanche to artists

A factory open to artists

The many artistic collaborations of the Faïencerie illustrate the history of decorative arts. Gien, with a rare open-mindedness, has always been associated with the artists of its time.

A free rein and two remarkable shapes

The Faïencerie de Gien has invited three internationally renowned artists from different continents: Inès Longevial, JonOne and Peng Yong, respectively French, American and Chinese, to work on two extraordinary pieces: a vase standing more than 1m tall and a platter measuring 60 cm in diameter. This surprising selection inaugurates a new century, the third, of the Manufacture.
