Week 27 2022

 Hello!

I've been working in the pottery studio in Sauveterre with the wonderfully talented artist Almen Drita I make the plates and she decorates them.  Our plan was to display them in the shop window in July. 

I'm delighted with the finished results. Each plate is a work of art.  Come and see them for yourself, the display is in the window for the month of July, and, even better, they are for sale. So you could have these beautiful pieces in your home.

Whatever you do in the Dordogne and Gironde regions, keep cool and have a great week,

Best wishes,

Helen

My lovely friend Almen Drita took some great photos of the stages involved in throwing a bowl.  I'm putting them up in the studio as an 'aide memoire' for the people on the workshops.
