Meeting #27Parole de BreizhPauline Le Goïc
Pauline Le Goic Armorique VitrailPauline Le Goïc is a passionate stained glass artist, whose artistic journey began at lycée with an artistic baccalaureate. Her path then took her to the université d’art plastique à Rennes, where she continued her studies right through to a doctorate. For five years, she had the opportunity to teach visual arts to students from different grades. This period coincided with the rise of conceptual art, and she felt the need to return to making and retrain as a craftswoman and manual ».
Img 8073A profession built on passion
Img 8080After moving to the north of France and leaving the French education system, she found an association dedicated to stained glass. She spent a rewarding year there, but soon realised that she needed vocational training to master the techniques needed for heritage restoration in particular. That’s how she came to take a CAP Arts et Techniques du verre, option vitrail, followed by training in business management to make up for her shortcomings in entrepreneurship. In 2015, she launched Armorique Vitrail à Ploubezre. She is deeply attached to this region of Trégor and Ploubezre, where her great-grandparents lived and where she spent many holidays as a child.
I’m really attached to the values behind craftsmanship: traditional gestures, the fact that you’re passing something on. There’s a trade that’s been passed down to us and the idea is that it will live on, so the transmission behind it has to be the same.
A deep-rooted desire to promote craftsmanship and artistic skills
Its values are deeply rooted in thetradition of craftsmanship and the transmission of know-how. She takes part in events to raise public awareness of the importance of artistic craftsmanship, as she firmly believes that craft should remain rooted in everyday use. Her work is divided between artistic creation (40%) and commissions from private and corporate clients (60%), as well as, of course, heritage restoration. She pays particular attention to each order. She visits her customers’ homes to discuss their wishes and assess the feasibility of each project, while at the same time immersing herself in their world. She has had the opportunity to restore various religious monuments in the Trégor, which has enabled her to contribute to the preservation of our heritage.

If it had to end with a colour, it would be orange, a symbol of warmth and creativity, just like spring, which evokes renewal and happiness.”

Img 8090Cultivating the essential
What does the phrase « Cultiver l’essentiel » inspire in you? For Pauline, Cultivate l’essentiel is taking the time to créer lasting and meaningful œuvres that have a utilitéé à through techniques and gestures that are passed on and are now part of the « immatériel » heritage. I like the feeling of progress, the feeling that the work is achieving something, that we’re getting somewhere. »
