Laëtitia and I share many interests and like similar things: the seaside, music, skateboarding, baking, mid-century collectables, we both are big fans of Studio Ghibli productions and so on... the list is long.
She's a sweet and caring person and that reflects in her work: the little characters in her ceramics always put a smile on my face.
Who
are you?
My
name is Laëtitia, I live in France
in a seaside town, I am mother of two children. I love drawing, cooking and
exploring nature with my family.
I
created "Mamzelle Titoo" three years ago, I'm working at home but whenever
I can I love to spend time outside riding my bike and taking photos.
Describe
yourself in 3 words
Dreamer,
curious, collector.
As a child you were?
A
dreamer, I spent a lot of time on my swing,
with my cat named Winnie. I loved to draw
and play with my cardboard doll house that my sister had built for me. I think
I was not very different from how I am now.
When you wake up in the morning...?
My days start with hugs from my children and a cup of tea.
When you go to sleep...?
I always drink an herbal tea before I go to sleep. I check if my children are sleeping well, sometimes I watch a film with my husband or I draw.
I also like to read before I fall asleep and I like to feel my cat sleeping near my feet.
I think about what I have to do the next day and most of the time I take note to not forget anything.
Usually my days are quite busy and I admit that I’m very happy to go to sleep!
What inspire you?
I love animals, they inspire me a lot.
I'm also inspired by everything around me. Inspiration comes at any time of the day, while walking on the beach, listening to music, looking at photos, playing with my kids ...
I have a lot of small notebooks in which I note and draw everything.
I am also inspired by other people’s ‘universes’ like Hayao Miyazaki's ‘universe’ ... Have you ever dreamt of bump into Totoro?... I do!
Your home is?
My home is the place where I love to be and where I spend most of my time because it’s also my workplace.
I collect all the things I love. I like to make my home cosy and enjoyable for the whole family.
We live in a small house, our living room is on the first floor and from the window we see trees,
it give us the impression of living in a tree-house! Very soothing.
I love to spend time in my kitchen: cooking, reading or drinking tea with family, friends and my neighbours...
Your working space is?
A bazaar most of the time! It’s small but full of light, I feel good in it: there are my plants, my record player (I always work listening to music) and my cats.
How do you relax?
I like to knit, drinking an herbal tea while watching Miss Marple…like an old lady! Or I go for a walk, or to swim in the sea, even if it’s cold.
What's your dream?
I dream of having a tea shop and workshop in which I can organize exhibitions, sales, creative workshop and concerts.
The oddest or funny thing you ever did?
Sleeping under the stars on a dolmen with friends when I was a teenager, disturbing and funny, but so cool!
Thank you Laëtitia.
Laëtitia's ceramics and postcards will be at knots collective pop up shop.
