Toltek Workshop
Ceramicist, based in Bordeaux.
Self-taught and passionate about the material, Virginie settled in Bordeaux where she works with ceramics. Beyond making simple cups, she strives to create authentic pieces to bring beauty to the heart of our homes.
Our co-creations:
OPALE candle , LUNA wall jewelry
, IRIS Mug
, EMY vase
LILY espresso cup , NINO salad bowl , ELENA candle holder .
After several years in the hairdressing world, she decided to retrain as a ceramist. To do this, she completed several internships with different ceramists and learned a lot on her own.
It was 2 years later that she started her business. This passion certainly stems from her great sensitivity, which has, for as long as she can remember, always pushed her to practice manual activities. Discovering ceramics workshops confirmed to her that she was on the right path.

Virginie is very inspired...
by the nature that surrounds it, by words, and it also has a particular attraction for Native American culture.
Her creative process is highly intuitive. Objects are born through encounters with materials. She also regularly collaborates and enjoys these shared perspectives on the creation of new pieces.
A little technique…
Among the major stages of manufacturing
...of a ceramic piece, we will find:
- shaping,
- turning,
- drying,
- the first cooking,
- sanding,
- the decoration and/or enameling,
- and finally, the second cooking.
