Week 7 2018

Hello!

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day! 💕 To celebrate the day, and my first glaze firing in my new (to me) kiln, here are some of my most recent ceramics.

Everything I make is for sale, get in touch if you are interested, I'd love to hear from you!

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week.  There are so many films to see.  Please take care to check the times with the cinema before you head out, apologies if I have made any mistakes.

Best wishes,
Helen

Would you like to try your hand at watercolours? Why not take a 1 day course and see if you like it? On 24 February she is offering a discovery day exploring watercolours and pastels. Call Jo Surridge on 06 87 12 54 91

Jo runs weekly art courses for all levels of competence both at her studio or at the location of the students choice.

Her speciality is in watercolours but she is flexible according to her clients needs.  The subjects follow the seasons, depicting the ever changing nature of the countryside and the vines but also she loves to depict architecture / town scenes in and around Sainte Foy La Grande and the local environs.

She is open to any interested parties, not just residential guests.
