Not Just For The Holidays: ouvre la voix

Week 35 2023

Hello!

Seems like even the weather knows that it's back to school next week. I've gathered together a gallery of the beautiful pottery projects from the budding potters in my studio and put a display in the shop window.

If you fancy trying your hand at making something from clay then get in touch - 06 30 89 85 36. No previous experience necessary. You can come with a group of friends and spend a couple of hours creating and escaping into the clay, you can come on your own and learn a new skill and meet new people, you can bring visitors and have a unique experience. I love working with clay, and I really love sharing that with others.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 35 2022

Hello!

This week is back to school time, otherwise known as the Rentrée, also back to work after the lovely summer holidays.

Many local towns and villages are hosting their Fete des Associations this weekend. You can go along and sign up to all manner of activities and clubs. Walking, tennis, choirs, cycling, circus skills, gymnastics, music, arts and crafts - think pottery! There's a club for everyone.

I'll be at the Forum des Associations in Sauveterre with Arts Typiques offering our art, textiles and pottery activities. Why not check out your local events, you don't have to live in the village to join the club, it's a great way to meet new people.
