Atelier Folk proudly emerged in April 2022, nestled in the heart of Lyon, France. With a mission to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can cultivate their creative talents, all while celebrating the timeless allure of functional and traditional crafts.

Inspired by the principles behind Mingei and other Folk Art movements, our studio values the sharing among individuals and the beauty of everyday objects. We believe that the creation of objects connects us with each other, just like stories, music, food, art in general...

We aspire for our Los Angeles location to serve as a hub for a diverse blend of pottery education techniques and traditions from around the world.

Let’s make beautiful things.

While we are still working on our Koreatown location, you can discover our Lyon, France location on IG: @atelier.folk
