In addition to its traditional production and in conjunction with the Musée de la Faïence de Quimper, the Faïencerie d’Art Breton seeks to encourage artists to use pottery for their creations, it being an exceptional medium when the décor is done completely by hand!

The first example of this initiative was the creation of the original signature of the Faïencerie d’Art Breton by Enrique Marin in 1994.

For the pieces made from 01/11/1994 to 31/12/2002		For the pieces made since 01/01/2003

Then it was the contribution of Goudie to the Musée de la Faïence (the creation of 60 unique pieces on the FAB forms) which cemented this favored relationship with artists.

1999 was a fruitful year when artistic revivalist Olivier Lapicque, Patrice Cudennec with roots in spirituality, Sophie Darley, and others constituted a true artistic movement in pottery.

This rapid renovation of style must be considered in the context of the 300-year history of Quimper pottery.

Many prestigious artists, such as Picasso, Cocteau, and Jean Marais, were recognized as artists through their ceramics. Some worked at Quimper, including Berthe Savigny and Louis-Henri Nicot, whose creations are produced today by the Faïencerie d’Art Breton. François Méheut, with a special stamping technique.

Since 2003, the Faïencerie d’Art Breton is the producer of the winning pieces of the international competition of "Une Œuvre de Faïence".
