ALINE JULIE HUBSCHMID

A Ceramic design and Fine Arts graduate who founded her brand MAISON PASTIS in Switzerland in 2019. Her ceramic Journey started in 2014 when she completed a four-year ceramic design apprenticeship in the School of Applied Arts in Berne, Switzerland. She then started her Fine Arts studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and Zurich University of Arts. During her studies she worked several years as an assistant for contemporary artists in a sculpture workshop in Germany. In 2023 she became head of the ceramic workshop at the Zurich University of Arts.

Aline developed a fascination with ceramic materials at an early age. Since her mother was a porcelain painter for more than 15 years. In the age of six, she visited ceramic courses in a pottery studio in the old town of Nice (FR), where she could design and paint her own mugs. This experience still influences her work today. The south with all its huge palettes of colors and shapes, nature, restaurants, cafés, fleamarkets and foods became her main source of inspiration.
