 Week 43

28 October

29 October

 

Coming up...

And finally...

We're working towards Christmas in the studio (with a side of Hallowe'en)  Here's a sneak peek into the kiln.

If you're interested in making your own bespoke decorations or gifts, get in touch and book a session in the studio - honestly, no experience necessary!

Week 47 2020

 Hello!

We watch and wait for the news to see what comes next.  Meanwhile, it's too soon to eat the Christmas cake, but not too soon to eat tea loaf.  This 'cold tea cake' always reminds me of one that my mum used to make.  Not sure if her recipe didn't come from her mum. And always spread with that delicious butter with salt crystals!

Cold tea cake and butter.

 

There is hope that daytime activities will reopen in December for the run up to Christmas.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and dordogne regions, continue to keep safe and use your small local businesses whenever you can.

Best wishes,

A beautiful local business is in Monsegur is Aux Herbes et caetera selling home grown, distilled and made teas, soaps, tinctures and lineaments.  Limited opening hours, so check ahead, and a great place to get gifts. I love their herbal teas.

 

 

 

And finally...

 

First we had hearts, and now we have stars.  The ideal Christmas decoration.  Call me if you would like to reserve them, then you can collect from me or from Sauveterre. €3.50 each, or 2 for €6.

We have begun to put our shop in Sauveterre online here. This way, you can see what we have, or follow the shop on Facebook here - you need to look under 'photos'

Week 46 2018

Hello!

Come and make your own ceramic Christmas decorations at the Maison des Artisans in Sauveterre. 

On Sunday 25th November we'll open the shop in the afternoon from 14h - 18h so that you can come in and make your own decorations.  Choose the shape, add the texture and decide on the colour of the glaze.  I'll take them away and fire them and you can collect them from the 4th December.  Personalise them with names using letter stamps, or add additional decals with stamps and cutters. €4.50 for the 2 decorations you choose to be fired.

If that all sounds too much like hard work, come and buy the ready made decorations, €2.50 each.  You'll be able to browse and buy from the rest of the shop too.

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

Best wishes,
Helen
