Very small things, made while the kiln cools.

Photographs of mail sent by Petites Choses
A quarterly envelope of extremely small paper objects made in the gaps between ceramic firings — miniature books that fit inside a matchbox, folded paper vessels, tiny printed cards, once a functioning 4cm envelope containing a 3cm letter. There is no theme beyond scale. Everything in the parcel is under 6cm in its longest dimension. Made in Marseille, in a studio that is mostly a kiln.

I am moving studio and the kiln takes three months to relocate, rewire and recertify. Petites Choses is paused until it is running again — probably October.
Nobody is being charged in the meantime. Subscriptions resume automatically when I restart, and everyone gets the missed quarter added on.
What went out, month by month
Five bound books, each 3cm tall, each with legible text. A magnifier is included.
Folded paper bowls and cups, the largest 5cm across.
