ABSTRACT={Many scientists have investigated the emergence of living forms from minerals. Fundamental notions arose, from the characterisation of organic materials to their self-organisation through active processes, consuming energy to produce ordered structures. Along the opposite path, ceramicists have explored the different ways to recreate living forms using mineral matter, going beyond the opposition between animated and inanimate entities, between life and inorganic matter. Novel confluences between living forms and ceramics now appear, for instance bioinspired materials and organic morphogenesis.}}
