Discover a traditional ceramics workshop in Champgeneteux, Mayenne, and immerse yourself in the world of turning, modelling and glazing with Saint-Amand stoneware.
Based in Mayenne since 2021, this passionate ceramist divides her time between artistic creation and passing on her skills through introductory sessions in throwing and modelling. In her workshop, each piece is born from a sketch and takes shape on the wheel: decorative objects or tableware, all are unique or made in small series.
She works exclusively with Saint-Amand stoneware, a noble local clay, and makes her own glazes from natural raw materials (silica, feldspar, chalk, etc.) and colouring oxides. Each creation undergoes two firings: the first at 980°C, known as the "dégourdis firing", then a second at 1280°C after glazing. It's a demanding, meticulous process, and one you'll want to experience at first hand.
A poetic and technical tour, where clay, fire and gesture meet.
Book online and at the Sainte-Suzanne les Coëvrons Tourist Office from 26 August 2025.
Visit limited to 7 people.
Organised by the Sainte-Suzanne les Coëvrons Tourist Office as part of the Journées Régionales de la Visite d'Entreprise, an initiative that promotes local know-how and brings the public closer to the world of business.
Proceeds from the visit go towards organisational costs for the Tourist Office.
Meet 15 minutes before the start of the tour.
