Ines Dimassi

I am a ceramic artist based in Paris, trained at the National Center for Ceramic Arts of Sidi Kacem El Jelizi in Tunis and certified with of a CAP (Certificate of Professional Aptitude) in wheel throwing (2025). My practice is rooted in Mediterranean ceramic traditions and in a deep appreciation for the natural qualities of clay. I create functional pieces with simple, timeless forms that highlight the raw beauty and colours of the earth. Inspired by ancient Mediterranean ceramics, I pay particular attention to the relationship between material, gesture and place, working with locally sourced clays both in Tunisia and in France whenever possible. This approach allows me to adapt to the specific qualities of each material and to maintain a strong connection between craft and territory. Alongside my personal practice, I enjoy sharing the experience of working with clay through workshops that invite participants to slow down, reconnect with their creativity and discover the pleasure of making something with their hands. Trained in Tunisia, I bring a multicultural perspective and a pedagogical approach that enrich the experience and open conversations around craftsmanship, material culture and creative traditions.
