Bruno Vinel
Bruno is making contemporary porcelain and stoneware vessels on a part-time basis. Born in France, he lived and worked in six different countries, and learned from their cultures, which influenced his art.
In 2018, after a few rough years, Bruno started pottery as a hobby and a therapy to feel better. Ceramics became his passion, and he developed his skills through attending pottery classes, workshops, and practising in his studio at the back of his garden.
In 2021, Bruno created four series of vessels inspired by his own experience with health, other artists’ work and the different places he lived. He participated in four exhibitions, co-curating one of them. These exhibitions offered him the opportunity to develop his artistic profile, and providing him with valuable feedback from the public.
He also launched the website www.ceramicstoday.org and interviewed established and emerging ceramicists to encourage the public to discover pottery.
