Announcement of the 5 Finalists of the Âmes d’Œuvres Craft Competition

The Fondation Etrillard is delighted to announce the five finalists for the second edition of the “Âmes d’Œuvres” Craft Competition.

Our jury, composed of Olivier Gabet, Pierre-Alain Le Cousin, Sophie Mouquin, Pierre-Henri Beyssac, and Chantal Prod’hom, carefully reviewed the fifty or so submissions, deliberated, and completed the difficult task of selecting five finalists. 

Here is the list of the five finalist teams:

Geoffrey Hillereau, designer, Laetitia Baqué, embroidery artisan & Victor Moulinié, textile designer
Robin Kr, ceramicist-potter
Helena Clade, object designer, Diane Diebold, textile artisan & Tristan Pierrick, product designer
Caroline Besse, decorative painter & Jean-Baptiste Sénéquier, designer
Yannick Szekany, bronze caster

The five selected finalists must now create a model of their reinterpretation of the Lion Vase in preparation for the next stage: the Grand Oral.

We wish them good luck as they continue on this journey!
