Georges Sybesma was born in the Netherlands in 1960, and spent his youth in Paris. In 1983 he set up his workshop in Limousin, in Saint-Sulpice-les-Feuilles. Since 2000, he has lived and worked in the village of La Borne in the Cher province of France. Though self-taught, Sybesma was influenced by French studio potters Claude Varlan, and Jean-Michel Gardelle.
