In an era where clay pottery making seems to attract few young people, Wilson Pierre continues to practice this traditional craft he discovered at the age of 10. Met at 10 a.m. in his workshop located in Bourdon, the young artisan was busy shaping a pot, a tool in hand, surrounded by materials such as cement and clay. Flower vases, water canaries, and jugs, his creations vary according to customer requests.

Between passion for art, economic difficulties, and the desire to showcase his know-how, he continues this activity he discovered during his childhood. He was introduced to clay pottery making by older family members who already practiced this trade. By observing them and familiarizing himself with their techniques, he gradually learned the basics of this artisanal activity. Even today, he continues to make pottery, an activity he considers much more than just a way to earn a living. For him, this profession is also a way to express his interest in art and to preserve a traditional know-how. “What motivated me is that I love art,” he emphasizes.
