Last weekend I went back to Roussillon
in the Rhone valley to
teach coiling and looping. The invitation came from the Association FIGLINAE as
a consequence of my work being seen in the exhibition Duos Potier Vannier that
I took part in there last year. It was a real
pleasure to be back in the tender care of this lovely group of people. Thanks
go to basket maker Francoise Demoulin and Nathalie and Jean-Jacques Du Bernard who were instrumental in organising
the weekend and who also very generously
hosted me. Thanks as well to Nancy and the other members of the Association who
also played their part. There were 17 adult students
on the Saturday plus a babe in arms and
a six year old. On the Sunday there were 20 and these numbers included one man on each day, which added
to the two that attended the workshop in Shetland means I am already
up to 4 this year. It could turn out to be a record breaking year! All the students were
a delight to teach entering totally into the
spirit of the workshop with many of them choosing to learn lots of techniques
rather than make finished objects. The location in the Chateau was great and
the lunchtime picnics were home made and wonderful. Un grand merci a toutes!
