Our work reproduced on page 44. JACQUELINE & TIM ORR (1940-1989) & (B. 1940) British-born Tim Orr settled in Biot in 1960. With his wife Jacqueline, they carried out research into porcelain. Together, they created sculptural and architectural works in response to private and public commissions, as well as ceramics with sinuous volumes and satin-finish surfaces. Based in Brissac, Maine-et-Loire, their collaboration continued until Jacqueline's death in 1989. Tim then pursued his research on his own, exploring new materials and techniques - such as cement, bronze/porcelain and high-temperature glazes.
