In Bloom by Zemer Peled – Behind the scene

The In Bloom collection by Zemer Peled is the result of an encounter between a talented young artist and exceptional craftsmanship. During her residency at the Manufacture Bernardaud, Zemer Peled spent time observing and understanding the complexity of creating a porcelain piece. It is with great enthusiasm that she became interested in the know how of decoration, alongside an expert who has been working at Bernardaud for more than 30 years. She learned to perform a quick, precise gesture and to perfectly control the pressure of her brush to achieve the desired effect: a decor where you feel the gesture and texture.

La collection In Bloom de Zemer Peled est le résultat de la rencontre entre une jeune artiste talentueuse et un savoir-faire d’exception. Durant sa résidence à la manufacture Bernardaud, Zemer Peled a passé du temps à observer et comprendre le travail de chacun des corps de métiers qui sont à l’œuvre dans la fabrication d’une pièce en porcelaine. C’est avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme qu’elle s’est intéressée à celui de fileur décorateur aux côtés d’un expert qui travaille chez Bernardaud depuis plus de 30 ans. Elle a ainsi appris à exécuter un geste rapide, précis et à maîtriser parfaitement la pression de son pinceau pour obtenir l’effet désiré : un décor où l’on sent le geste et la texture.
