Week 40 2021

Hello!

This weekend brings the autumn Antiques market to Rauzan.  The weather forecast looks good, so head on over and have a look.  Don't forget to haggle - just after lunch is a good time... when the stall holders have just finished a nice lunch!


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

Best wishes,
Helen
 
Week 40

15 October St Emilion Balloon festival

And finally...

The autumn pottery timetable is out for the themed Saturday workshops in Sauveterre.  Starting with a double Halloween session.  Choose either/both - a real Halloween pumpkin, carved from a calabash with Amelie and Day of the Dead key rings in clay.

Sessions last 1 hour, so either combine both for a 2 hour workshop, or choose your favourite, for 1 hour. Get in touch to book your place 06 30 89 85 36 (it goes without saying... sanitary protocols are in place)


If there's a workshop that takes your fancy, but the date doesn't work - not to worry, we can set it up for another date if you have a group of 3 people minimum.

And finally...

My lovely friend Almen Drita took some great photos of the stages involved in throwing a bowl.  I'm putting them up in the studio as an 'aide memoire' for the people on the workshops.

Week 38 2021

Hello!

Delayed from last year, the 4th Rencontre de Savoir Faire is going ahead this weekend in Sauveterre.  The Association Arts Typiques in the Maison des Artisans invites local artists to come and share their knowledge with demonstrations and exhibitions.  The village square will host a range of events on Sunday, including the artisans from the Association, a wood turner, a basket weaver, weaving, spinning, even a large still to show the art of plant distillation.


The Maison des Artisans will be open and I'll be in my studio throwing in the morning, you can also visit the other studios there, with the Calabash workshop and the textile studio holding demonstrations. There are Food trucks, a bar, live entertainment and wooden games for all the family.

Pop in and say hello, discover something new!

Whatever you do this weekend in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week.
Best wishes,
Helen
