Mount

A medieval bastide on a sandstone ridge, named for the mornings when the Cérou valley fills with cloud and the town stands above it. Founded in 1222, after the burning of the village below. The Grand Rue still carries fourteenth-century Gothic houses, falcons on one facade and a hunting frieze on another, and the church of Saint-Michel sits at the top of the climb. The town added sur-Ciel to its name in 1993, after the thing the valley has been doing for eight centuries.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
