Not Just For The Holidays

Week 15 2023

Hello!

Easter weekend was an escape... do you recognise the beach?

But never fear, I was back in time to pick up my favourite nougart from the stand in Castillon! It's been a bit of a sugar rush!

The school holidays are underway, so there are plenty of activities around and about. Check out the bottom of the newsletter for the pottery projects.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

Two holiday pottery workshops in Sauveterre during the holiday fortnight:

- Saturday 15th April, 1 hour sessions to make a cute little tulip candle holder

- Friday 14th April and Friday 21st April 1 and a half hour session to make an Easter/Spring mug.

If these dates don't work for you, it looks like rain, and you have guests to entertain, get in touch, there are other time slots available. Put your hands in the clay, and suddenly everyone is grounded, calm and creative.

Week 14 2023

Hello!

Easter is creeping up and the funfair is in town in Castillon (and I hope my favourite nougart stand!)

It stretches from the stone bridge and goes all the way up to the train station! The centre of the village is taken over with rides and sideshows.

If funfairs are your thing, then it's the place to be at Easter.

Whatever you'd like to do over the Easter weekend, the sun should be shining, so have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen

If you are looking for some pottery activities for all the family, there's two holiday activities.

On Saturday 15th, make a little tulip tealight holder in a 1 hour session.

Throughout the school holidays, come and make an Easter themed mug, with spring time decorations. This is perfect for all the family to make a mug each in 1 and a half hours.
