Short story of the workshop

Descendant of a very old family from Les Portes-en-Ré, Île de Ré, going back at least to the first parish register, my grandfather René Renaud (1907-1991), painter and ceramist who made his career as a painter in Paris, created in 1947 his first workshop of decorated ceramics in a family cellar in Portes-en-Ré, 5 place de la liberté.

In 1954 he created his second workshop at La Chapelle-des-Pots where he was the first to redo ceramics since the 1930s. My publication Potters and Ceramists of the village of La Chapelle-des-Pots will provide you with more explanation on the village of La Chapelle-des-Pots and its unique name.

In 1956 he created another workshop in Meschers-sur-Gironde, 37 rue Paul-Massy in another family home. This workshop will be closed in 1967 but there remains a sign card in ceramics on the facade of this former workshop, visible without move from Google View .

The Atelier of Les Portes-en-Ré will be closed at the end of 2000 by its two youngest daughters at the end of their career who had joined this original family-only workshop professionally, the workshop in La Chapelle-des-Pots remaining open.

Myself, Kim René Renaud, grandson of the founder, I continue as a professional this Workshop of ceramic creations so characteristic with the typical workshop cartoons, landscapes, birds, flowers, marine themes, nickname dishes, cards the islands of Ré, Oléron, Charente Maritime, name and house number, ...

...on tiles, decorative plates, dishes, pots, vases and other shapes, as well as ceramic tile table tops. ceramics, decorated tiles for credenza, wall, panels and paintings tiles decorated with painted ceramics, and also contemporary art paintings on canvas, ceramics, ...
