Step by step
A typical 3-day workshop
Each workshop has its own theme, but the progression stays the same. Over 2 days we keep the first two days and finish decorating on the second afternoon.
-
Day 1Getting to know the clay
The material and the basic techniques: pinching, coiling, slabs, joining. First go on the wheel, taking turns.
-
Day 2Building and decorating
Forms, volumes, thrown pieces. Then decorating with slip: colours, plant imprints, stamping, scratching, carving.
-
Day 3Shaping, reshaping, finishing
Transforming a form, making the most of the unexpected, finishing pieces. Then we choose together which ones will be fired.
The chosen pieces are then glazed and fired at the studio. Pieces dry slowly under plastic, then go through two firings. I let you know by message when they are ready, and you collect them at the studio.
Ages 6 to 14
Holiday mini-workshops
During the French school holidays, two or three afternoons in a row, from 2 to 4 pm, for six children at most. They hand-build, take turns at the wheel and decorate, and their pieces are glazed and fired.

Do I need any experience?
No. Workshops welcome beginners. People with experience work on their own projects alongside.
Will I use the wheel?
Yes, we always do both throwing and hand-building. The studio has one wheel: everyone takes a turn, and hand-builds the rest of the time.
Do I take my pieces home on the last day?
No. The clay has to dry slowly, be fired once, glazed, then fired again. I let you know when your pieces are ready and you collect them at the studio.
Will all my pieces be fired?
We choose together which ones go in the kiln. A piece you don’t like stays unfired and its clay is recycled: less energy, less glaze.
What should I bring?
Clothes that can get dirty and your lunch. Materials are provided, and I can lend you an apron.
Can my child come with me?
Yes, from 6 to 14 years old, for €45 a day. Your child stays in your care and counts as one of the six places.
Where can I stay during the workshop?
A self-catering cottage right next to the studio sleeps up to 4 people. It is booked through Airbnb.
