Week 33 2025

 Hello!

My goodness it's hot out there...

The Connection

 

So, stay cool, keep those windows and shutters closed against the heat and don't try getting up to too much in the afternoons.  The heat plays havoc with clay, it dries almost in front of my eyes.

Whatever you do this week, in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have fun and enjoy yourselves.  There's a bank holiday on Friday - L'Assomption.  So there's a possibility that businesses may 'Faire le Pont' (that's if any of them are actually open...) 

Best wishes,

Helen

There have been plenty of families coming to the studio during the holidays, I love how they start with the same project, but they are all unique creations.

Holiday pottery workshops are available for one more week - then the last week of August, I'll be on holiday. Contact me if you'd like to book a session. 📞0630898536 

Week 33 2024

 Hello!

It's your last chance this weekend to see the Battle of Castillon. We saw it last week, and it doesn't disappoint. 

Take the time to visit the artisan village and watch the pre-show performances. (There's wine tasting too!)

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

Best wishes,

Helen

15 August

Assumption Day, or Assomption in France, is the day in Roman Catholic tradition when Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, was taken bodily up into heaven.

It is celebrated on 15 August each year and is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics in France. It is also a public holiday with banks and most businesses closed. 

However, there are plenty of other things to be doing on this day.
