Week 42 2024

 Hello!

Did you manage to catch a glimpse of the comet this week? My friend got a snap on her phone whilst her nearest and dearest set up his camera and missed it!

There's so much rain around, so to catch another sighting over the next few days will be a challenge.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne region over the next week, have a lovely time.

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

New into the boutique in Sauveterre, an apero dish.  A bowl inside a bowl, a dish inside a dish.

Perfect for serving those nibbles, a place in the centre for cocktail sticks, olive pips, sauces or dips.  I've made a range of sizes, and here's this first in a new bubble glaze colour...

Week 41 2024

 Hello!

This weekend is the twice a year brocante in Rauzan - are things over priced? Is it cheeky to have an entrance fee?  Perhaps it's yes to both!  But I love a rummage and an explore, and of course a haggle!

The question remains as to whether the sun will shine?

Whatever you do in the coming week, have a lovely time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

Sgrafitto is a wonderfully reassuring technique for decoration on clay for those of us who feel somewhat apprehensive about our artistic abilities.  It allows you to trace, copy and plan ahead for a surface decoration that can be both simple and bold, but most of all, looks rather good in the end!

Scrafitto plate workshop in Suveterre on Sunday 20th October.

If you'd like to give it a go, give me a call, or send a message and spend the time to create your very own plate. 📞06 30 89 85 36

Week 40 2024

 Hello!

Thank you to everyone who came by on Sunday to visit the Rencontre de Savoir Faire in Sauveterre  We had over 30 stands with Artisans, local food producers, demonstrations and live music.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions this week, have a good time.

Best wishes,

Helen

Coming up...

And finally...

There are some Sunday clay sessions coming up.  Take a day out to make a clay creation from start to finish.  The scrafitto plate is a very satisfying project if you have never worked with clay before.  No need to be an artist.  I'll guide you through the steps and you can make a unique and beautiful plate.

 

Closer to Christmas, there are a couple of dates dedicated to making your own collection of Christmas trees to decorate your home - or gift... if you can bear to give them away!
