L'Impatience is a ceramics studio dedicated to crafting pieces with timeless design and pure form.

Located between the Hudson Valley and the Catskills mountains of upstate New York, our full-scale production facility is complemented by a vibrant community space. Here, we offer memberships and workshops, inviting you to engage with the art of ceramics and rediscover the beauty of everyday rituals.

Husband and wife Jerome and Benedicte Leclere are the co-founders and the four hands crafting every piece behind L'impatience.

We founded L'Impatience in 2019, embracing a new calling that led us to leave our NYC careers and relocate to the Hudson Valley. Starting from our home near Woodstock, our passion for ceramics quickly outgrew our space, prompting us to expand and find a dedicated studio to bring our vision to life.

All of our pieces are handmade in our studio, situated in the thriving arts district of Kingston.
