Illustrator Alice Des makes a splash with her wonderful ceramic bathing beauties

When French illustrator Alice Des isn't freelancing or creating comic books, she likes to indulge in a little pottery, in this case, crafting ceramic bathing beauties that follow her usual trademark style.

Written By:
Six ceramic bathing beauties with simple outlined features and blue, yellow and orange accents arranged on a white background

With simple, outlined features and a bright colour palette, her miniature "swimmer" sculptures will soon be available to buy via her online shop. And if you love these, you might also appreciate her range of prints that follow a similar summer theme. We especially like the blue swirls of La Baigneuse, which directly translates as "swimmer".
