Week 47 & 48 2025

 Hello!

It's been a busy week in the studio - so this is a bumper 2 week episode. 

There are beautiful autumn wreaths decorating the wall on the landing at the Maison des Artisans, but they won't be there for long as the creators are quick to collect.

 

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Coming up...

The following weekend is the Telethon weekend and so many places have combined this with Christmas Markets. I'll be at Flaujagues - which is obviously the best! However, there are plenty of others to choose from.

 

And finally...

Well done if you've got this far... It's my final Saturday pottery workshop for this year on 6th December and we're making Christmas bells in the shape of a Christmas tree.

 

There are still a few places left in the afternoon, or if you'd like to come along on a different day and make a few, don't hesitate to get in touch. 📞06 30 89 85 36

Week 45 2025

 Hello!

And so what do you do when you have a hornet's nest in your chimney... 😣

Well, I had a chimney sweep and a hornet destroyer both peering up my chimney last week.  The hornets were almost all gone and now the nest is removed.  So, the other day I could light my first fire of the autumn.

They really are amazing structures, but not something I needed in my chimney.

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

Best wishes,

Helen
