Week 16 2024

 Hello!

Last week it was the wisteria, this week the roses have arrived and their scent is heavenly. 


Perfect school holiday weather is set for the weekend, and it's the brocante in Rauzan, worth it for a couple of hours browsing, you might even find that hidden gem.

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

Best wishes,
Helen

Contact me if you'd like to get creative with clay.  These were made by grandmother and granddaughter combos.  

The clay changes from grey to white in the kiln.  I never stop being enchanted by the clay.

Week 15 2024

 Hello!

This is one of the most beautiful years for wisteria, it seems that wherever I go, I'm greeted by billowing clouds of purple loveliness.  

 

It's the school holidays this week and next, so there's plenty of family friendly activities out there.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne, keep your eyes open for the wisteria and have a great week.

Best wishes,
Helen

Week 14 2024

 Hello!

This weekend is the last few days of the JEMA festival - Journées Européennes des Métiers d’Art, which celebrates artisans throughout Europe.  It's a great platform to introduce people to all the skillful artisans.  You get to see them at work, watch demonstrations, and quite oftern you can have a go.

In Sauveterre, we have welcomed the children of the local école maternelle into our studios for hands on workshops, and this weekend we have a Portes Ouvertes.  


So if you're looking for something to do, then look up the webpage (the link is above) and visit your local artisans. Or drop in and see us in Sauveterre.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.
Best wishes,
Helen
