PARIS 1937: the workshop founded in 1879 by Georges Caronési finishes sealing the 4,500 stamping molds in its collection to move to the Dordogne. These molds make it possible to distribute original works in several prints using a technique that was particularly flourishing in France in the 19th century. Clodion, Houdon and other sculptors of this period used it to edit their creations. The catalog of the Caronési workshop presents a large number of prestigious works entrusted to the workshop by sculptors or exhibited in museums such as the Louvre. All are on the journey... BERGERAC 1938: Jean Varoqueaux, sculptor-modeler, son-in-law and successor of Georges Caronesi, sets up the workshop in its new premises. However, very quickly, with the war then the development of mass production, the demand for artistic terracottas dried up. Most stamping workshops close and the molds are gradually abandoned. But Jean Varoqueaux knows how to innovate and develop the workshop's activities with great creativity in his creations and ingenuity in the development of pioneering processes. He developed sculpture - he was notably the author of the statue of Cyrano made in 1970 for the town of Bergerac, the barbotines - his order book includes numerous pieces made for Joséphine Baker in Les Milandes, Périgord pottery and advertising casts . BERGERAC 2003: Ariane, granddaughter of Jean Varoqueaux, and Pierre Campo create an association to safeguard the workshop. Indeed, there was an emergency: the collection of 19th century stamping molds was going to be destroyed for lack of buyers. It should be added that apart from the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, there was then only one workshop practicing this artistic craft in France. Four generations after the founding of the workshop, the couple is undertaking an original and innovative safeguarding approach combining research, artisanal production and know-how transmission courses. Artistic terracottas are reborn with the Atelier Campo stamp.
