Dodo Toucan

The meeting spot between design and handcraft. We imagine, create and offer decorative objects in ceramic.

Founded in 2015 by Sara Théron, Dodo Toucan’s world is just like its name : soft and colorful. Full of life and poetry, it has been expanding since its creation and is now hosting wild animals, lucky charms and many magical creatures. The creations are all unique pieces or made in very limited series, representing tigres, wolves, birds, bears, nature’s spirits and mini lucky charms, creating this unique and modern world. 

The soft and round shapes of this gentle and colorful zoo are an invitation to dream and make your everyday life a little bit more poetic.

Dodo Toucan is modelling the clay in a free, playful and creative way. Present in every piece, nature is one of the main sources of inspiration, in which Sara finds the patterns and emotions to create the happy, refreshing and delicate world of Dodo Toucan. The work of the colours, the bright yet soft chromatic ranges, are all resemblances of a story book.

On the opposite end unlike mass production and consumption, each and every one of our pieces are created, made and painted by hand in our parisian workshop. All our creations are therefor unique and, in their own way, “perfectly imperfect”.

In an artificial world where handcrafted goods slowly disappear, we chose craft, which highlights the gesture and hand work of the maker. The knowledge, the possibilities and the imperfections of each of our pieces are the perfect characteristics of our creations’ authenticity.

Just like the canopy that separates the shop from the work space, we chose to make our fabrication processes as transparent as possible. Our only secret ingredients are creativity, attention to details and patience. :)

THE TEAM

Sara - founder

Initiated to objects’ creation during her studies at the Arts Décos in Paris, Sara discovers the ceramic during night classes with friends. Today, Sara models the clay while dreaming about the future of Dodo Toucan, surely full of colours, animals and patterns. 

In the meantime, Sara also develops her illustrations and gouache painting work, that you can find in the stationary section of Dodo Toucan.

Margot - office manager

A good spirited team member, Margot juggles all the missions that allow our know-how and ceramics to reach you: she welcomes you at the shop, takes care of our workshop schedule, answers your questions, carefully prepares your orders and organizes all the coming and going of our ceramics to our numerous points of sale. 

Alejandra - ceramist

Alejandra's career as a visual artist has led her to travel and explore mediums as diverse as performance and video. Today, Alejandra is both a ceramist and an illustrator, and she exercises her multiple talents in our workshop: she decorates armies of grigris and some of our vases. 

Juliette - ceramist

Still a student, Juliette aspires to become a professional ceramist. She made her debut at Dodo Toucan during an internship in 2020 and continues to collaborate with us, in addition to her already busy schedule. As comfortable with clay as she is with a paintbrush, Juliette regularly comes to assist us in all the steps of the production process.   

Héloïse - ceramist

Graduated in industrial ceramics, Héloïse joined Dodo Toucan very quickly after its creation. Meticulous and methodical, she perfectly masters the whole manufacturing process, our materials and tools.

Héloïse organizes the daily production, trains the team on our secret techniques, and sets ever more ambitious goals. She is a master in the art of making our lucky charms. Modeling, painting, firing, glazing and quality control, no step of our manufacturing process escapes her. 

Hélène - graphic designer

A jack-of-all-trades who oscillates between events, graphic design and screen printing, Hélène is in charge of creating beautiful communication supports for Dodo Toucan: Instagram has no secrets for her! She also helps Sara develop stationery projects, from the search for suppliers to the packaging of our cards and notebooks. She's the one who designed this amazing website :)  

Ivana - ceramist

Having been introduced to ceramics in different workshops in Argentina, Ivana decided to pursue the adventure in Paris, and it is in our production workshop that she landed. In addition to casting and glazing, she makes sure that our class space is perfect to welcome you. And she likes to do it all with music, sharing her countless playlists full of good vibes with the workshop team.
