The focus is on our relationship with food and the art of living in style.  This exhibition travelled from Limoges to the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris (November 2008 to January 2009).

2009 – Made in France, by Americans: In the 1990's, the arrival of a handful of North American ceramic sculptors started a major upheaval on the French ceramic art scene. Daphne Corregan, Wayne Fischer, Jeffrey Haines, Jonathan Hammer, Patrick Loughran, Kristin McKirdy, Luisa Maisel, Wade Saunders are stirring things up in French ceramics. Familiar with two cultures, they steered clear of the post-Modernism that dominated the French scene in the 1980's.Infusing their work with color, humor and sensuality, they look for ways to refresh their imagination in step with the world.

2010 - Un peu de terre sur la peau : The Fondation d’entreprise Bernardaud presents an exhibition around an art form that is not well recognized in France: Contemporary jewelry. 140 compelling ceramic creations, on loan from the various artists, revisit ancestral forms of artistic expression as a means of casting them in new perspectives. While traditional jewelry is linked with precious metal craftwork of the applied arts, contemporary jewelry has become a field of experimenta tion in new arenas of art, design and artisanal creation.
