La Poterie de Corbara is an artisanal workshop located in Corbara, in the Balagne region, 4 km from L'Île-Rousse. Antoine Campana has been working with wheel-thrown stoneware there since 1984, and Zeineb Delage joined the workshop in 2019. Tableware, table accessories, and decorative items are made on-site and sold directly in the shop.

Pottery studio in Corbara since 1984

Forty years ago, pottery becameAntoine Campana's way of life following a meeting with the potter from Pigna in the 1980s in Aregno.

In his studio near L'Île-Rousse, Antoine Campana uses a potter's wheel to shape stoneware pieces with simple, clean lines. His creations stand out for their functional forms and their designs featuring solid or combined colors.

A renowned artisan who has practiced his craft with the same passion all these years, Antoine is also a founding member of the Strada di l'Artigiani association—“the artisans' route” of Balagne”—dedicated to promoting the region's crafts and traditional skills.

Zeineb Delage is preparing to pass the torch

Since 2019, Zeineb Delage has been working alongside Antoine Campana at the Poterie de Corbara. Each has their own kiln—a gas kiln for Antoine and an electric one for Zeineb. The ceramicist is developing her own distinctive style, characterized by colorful artistic creations, which she displays in a dedicated section of the shop.

Although he is past retirement age, Antoine continues his work out of passion. Zeineb's arrival—as she is set to take over the workshop when he retires—is gradually paving the way for the handover and ensuring the continuity of the Poterie de Corbara for years to come.

Wheel-Throwing and Firing Stoneware

Antoine Campana works for a loyal, long-standing clientele, including international customers (Germans, Italians). The artisan potter uses a potter's wheel and a gas kiln, whose flame imparts unique colors and hues. The firing process takes 4 to 5 hours at temperatures reaching 1280°. He works year-round right on site in his studio, where you can find him during business hours.
