Week 25 2025

 Hello !

Coming up at on 21 June is the Fete de la Music traditionally held in France on midsummer’s day.  It all began in 1982 when the then Minister of Culture Jack Lang decided to revive the pagan Festival of St Jean.  He invited musicians from all walks of life to join together and give free concerts.  Over 30 years later the event has spread throughout the world.

This year 21 falls on Saturday and so there are Fete de la Music celebrations spreading through to the weekend.

There will be a concert near you to enjoy this coming weekend - enjoy!

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Thank you for everyone who came and said Hello at the Festival de Moutom Ivre last weekend.  It was a soggy start to the morning, but by midday the sun was out and it was a perfect moment for my favourite demonstration.  Thank you CJ for the great photos of 'Shaun'!

 

 

Week 25 2024

 Hello!

Hear ye, hear ye, good men and gentle ladies!

Our beautiful Medieval Festival is back in 2024!
A brand new edition of the Sauveterre-de-Guyenne Medieval Fair will be held on 23 June 2024, from 10am to 11pm, at the Place de la République.
Shine up your armour, clean up your costumes and get out your best finery for this new edition.
On the programme: a craft and medieval market, entertainment for all, on-site catering, falconry, shows and music! Admission is free.
Young and old alike will have a great time enjoying the festivities.
We look forward to seeing you there! 

Come and say Hello!  I'll have a clay activity with red clay, instead of my usual white clay.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

21 June - Fete de la Musique.  It's worth trying to check ahead, some of these events may have been cancelled due to the weather conditions.

Coming up...

And finally...

The summer pottery programme is ready.  Choose from a project on the flyer, gather a group of friends and family, contact me, and book a session - it's as easy and fun as that.

 

Choose from a noughts and crosses game, a mug with leaf and flower prints or an animal bell. Though, if there's another project that I've offered in the past that you'd like to do, then that's not a problem. Helen 📞06 30 89 8536
