Escultura Baleine por Roche Clarisse | Escultura Animals Ceramics Raku

Clarisse was born in Haute-Savoie and also went to secondary school there. She did not have any particular career in mind and instead tried her hand at a number of activities in a range of relatively varied fields. She had always been interested in woodworking and when she was twenty-six, she decided to move to Avignon to gain theoretical and practical training at the école Supérieure d'ébénisterie, where she obtained her Certificate of Professional Competence as a gilding sculptor in the early 2000s. Clarisse continued to train by doing a one-year internship in the workshop of an ornamentalist sculptor, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and then worked for a few years in a carpentry shop in Drome.
