About:
Mauricette Pinoteau is currently the sole keeper of the knowledge and history of the Camille Fauré atelier. She entered the studio in 1972 and learned the demanding art of enamel until 1978.
"I was 19 years old," she says. "I did not know anything about enamel. I came from the tapestry I had studied at Aubusson Art School."
Andrée Fauré, daughter of Camille Fauré, was leading the workshop with her husband, Louis Malabre. Camille Fauré died in 1956.
Along with her new teachers, the young apprentice discovers the fascinating world of enamel work. Everyone was respectful of the work of the other. The young people were there to learn, the old ones to transmit. Each had a specific function according to the disciplines: geometric enamel, painted enamel, and grisaille.
The workshop had 25 people. They were free of their time. But their level of requirement was very high. If a defect was detected, the part was immediately destroyed, and they had to start all over again until they finally achieved perfect quality. They wanted to achieve perfection.
Mauricette thus becomes a solid link for the transmission of the art of enamel. A well-placed trust because today, she is the only heiress of the know-how and the living memory of the Faure workshop liquidated in 1985.
She opened her shop in Limoges in 1991, where she still works.
