André Rozay céramiste La Borne la joyeuse de vielle en grès

A former student of the Vierzon ceramics school and the Bourges Beaux Arts school (where he met Jean Lerat), as well as the Beaux Arts school in Paris, he has a solid background in drawing and painting. Arriving in La Borne in 1943 to work for François Guillaume with Jean Lerat in Armand Bedu's studio, he escaped the STO (Service du Travail Obligatoire) in Germany and lived in La Borne illegally.
He then worked in Alphonse Talbot's workshop, succeeding Talbot in 1958.
In 1962, together with Pierre Mestre, Yves Mohy and Claudine Monchaussé, he founded the Amicale des potiers de La Borne and held the first of a series of annual exhibitions in the former workshop of wheelwright Émile Foucher. The Association des potiers de La Borne took over from the Amicale and filed its articles of association in 1971. It was the forerunner of today's Association des céramistes and the Centre de céramique contemporaine de La Borne.
A founding member of the Association de sauvegarde et de protection du patrimoine potier et du site de La Borne, in 1987 he and the association created the Musée de la poterie traditionnelle in the village's former chapel.

Continuation of his biography:
André Rozay has produced numerous utilitarian turned pieces and sculptures, often constructed from wheel-made elements and glazed with ash.
With a strong stylization and vigorous forms, André Rozay renews the themes of Bornois imagery and pottery, his favorite subjects. We owe him animal sculptures with very pure forms, portraits, busts of artists and full-length figures (such as the shepherdess in Marie-Claire).
André Rozay also produced a large number of edgy drawings on the theme of the pottery trade, some of which illustrate Robert Chaton's books on La Borne.
