Art and History Workshop

Arts and crafts since 2005. The Atelier Memento Temporï recreates the masterpieces of numerous civilisations through reproductions of unique archaeological pieces in terracotta of exceptional quality. Made in France by craftsmen.

  • Handcrafted

    All our pieces are made and decorated in Brittany by craftsmen who are passionate about Art & History.

  • Terracotta

    For quality, finesse and pieces with soul. Terracotta has been used for over 5,000 years.

  • Unique

    Decoration, colour, finish, thickness... we make our pieces by hand, which makes them all unique.

Unique know-how and excellence

  • Model creation

    Whether it's from photos or a printed 3D scan, it all starts with sculpting the model that will be used to make the mould

  • Mould making

    Plaster moulds are made from the sculpture. Depending on the piece, the mould is more or less complex: 2 or more parts.

  • Casting and cleaning

    Clay is poured into the mould. When the thickness is ideal, the excess is emptied. The piece can then be removed from the mould and cleaned.

  • Firing the piece(s)

    When the piece is dry, it is fired a first time. The result is a ceramic bisque ready for decoration.

  • Decorations

    The decorations are created using engobe (pigmented clay) or glaze (a transparent or coloured layer of glass), as close as possible to the originals.

  • Finishings

    Depending on the piece, it is returned to the kiln before the finishing touches: base, wax, patina, etc. to give it a unique historical look. The piece is finished and packaged.
