Week 8 2023

 Hello!

It was Pancake day, the first one is always a bit ropey, but I soon got into the swing of it.  I don't think anything tops sugar and lemon as a filling... so that's what they were. 

Whatever you had on your pancakes, I hope they were delicious.

The rains have arrived after almost a month without, so keep warm and dry and whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 8

Chateau Font Vidal, Juillac

Coming up...

11 March  - poisson d'avril

And finally...

The pottery workshop has been on the road. I took the workshop to a nearby Centre de Loisir and the children all worked with the clay to make faces.  For some, it was their first time working with clay.  I love the results, there are some great creatives and budding potters.

Week 7 2021

 Hello!

It has been a busy week at the holiday pottery workshop, piggy banks have touched people's imagination. A couple of hours with your hands and minds in clay do wonders for helping to forget about the stresses of the world outside.

 

The workshop has plenty of pigs in residence right now.  With the weather as it is, they'll take a couple of weeks to dry out before they head to the kiln for their first firing.

I still have some places available to make a pig on Saturday, €20/person for 2 hours.  No experience necessary, and no age limit!  I have everything you need... including homemade cookies! Give a call if you're interested - 0630898536

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, keep well and safe.

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

For pancake day, a stack of fluffy pancakes.

Just before drowning in syrup!
