Lucien Petit is among the latest generation of ceramists from La Borne, a former pottery village in Berry that became a renowned artistic center around the 1940s under the guidance of Jean and Jacqueline Lerat.

Assistant to Jacqueline Lerat from 1994 to 2009, Lucien Petit now lives and works on his personal creations in Boisbelle, near La Borne.

Using traditional materials and processes—modeled and fired clay—his sculptural work is nonetheless decidedly contemporary.
