The company Keramos Restauration Création
A ceramic restoration workshop run by Agnès de La Soudière, based in Montchevrel, in the Orne.
One workshop, several activities
Keramos Restauration Création was founded in June 2013 in Rueil-Malmaison. Since January 2020 the workshop has been in the Orne, in Montchevrel, 20 minutes north of Alençon.
The core of the work is the restoration of porcelain, earthenware, biscuit and terracotta. Alongside it, the workshop offers advice, brokerage and the sale of ceramics. The four pages below each present one side of the business.
