About Us
Galerie Kaolin
Galerie Kaolin sets out to be a contemporary art gallery dedicated to studio ceramics and sculpture.
Located in Carouge, Switzerland, the gallery inherits the legacy of the Atelier Céramique de Michelle Dethurens, a ceramics institution with almost 40 years of history.
Galerie Kaolin also continues to function as an artist studio directed by two ceramicists, Janine de Founes and
Evrim Ozkan Yazici.
The Legacy of Michelle Dethurens
Galerie Kaolin is the new incarnation of Atelier Céramique de Michelle Dethurens which is a ceramics institution for almost 40 years in Carouge. She is one of the great dames of ceramics.
It is our beloved ceramics studio where we, Janine and Evrim, have developed our artistic approach and craftsmanship under Michelle’s keen eye and contributed many exhibitions.
Now, we would like to continue her legacy of exhibiting outstanding international and swiss artists such as Karin Bablok, Elke Sada, Hannah Tounsend, Francoise Kindler, Lea Georg, Tjok Dessauvage, Aline Favre, Monique Sandoz and many others.
We continue participating Parcours Céramique Carougeois.
