Pierre Bounaud

Pierre Bounaud is a San Diego–based ceramic artist working from his home studio overlooking the scenic Talmadge neighborhood canyons. Born and raised in the Provence region of France, Pierre studied chemistry before clay took over his life and became his muse. Combining his love of experimentation and architecture, Pierre creates original, colorful, and textural functional wares, as well as sculptural vessels and geometric abstract structures. Pierre is a member of the San Diego Potters’ Guild, exhibiting in the guild’s gallery and twice a year during the guild’s semiannual shows. During the first weekend in December, Pierre also participates in the citywide annual San Diego Pottery Tour, where local potters open their private studios to the public. Pierre’s unique artwork has been featured in multiple galleries, both locally and nationwide.
