About

Julie Gavrel — Founder of Jou Ceramic
Jou, that’s me.
Jou Ceramic is my studio, where I design and craft handmade objects for everyday life.
After fifteen years working in digital marketing and data in Paris, life took me abroad with my family and gave me the opportunity to rethink my professional path.
What began as a pottery class quickly became an obvious choice. I discovered the quiet rhythm of working with clay — learning, experimenting, and slowly shaping objects by hand.
In 2022, I founded Jou Ceramic.
Each piece is imagined, shaped, glazed, and finished by hand in small batches in my studio.
Simple forms and natural textures come together to create unique pieces designed to bring joy to everyday moments.
Subtle variations in form, color, and texture are part of the process and make every object one of a kind.
These pieces are meant to be used, touched, and lived with — bringing warmth and quiet beauty into daily life.
By Jou, for you, with joy.
