Caroline,
I don't know any potters personally in Paris....but the Picasso museum is
well worth the visit. It's housed in a glorious old home in a historic
section of Paris, the Marais. It holds many pottery pieces.
Also worth the visit is L'auberge de la reine blanche, a great little
restaurant in the Ile St.-Louis, just across from the church de Saint-Louis
en l'Ile.
Hope this helps a little bit....
enjoy your trip!!!

If you are just going to be in Paris, by all means see Claude Champy, 18
rue Francois Coppee, 78370 Plaisir, tel. 1-30541044. He is beyond words.
Woodfired stoneware, functional or not. Speaks English. He will direct you
to worthwhile galleries (Sarver shows Pierre Bayle) and save you a lot of
running around.
Plaisir is just outside Paris and you can get there by subway/train
easily.
Also,most museums have great ancient clay exhibits. Claude can tell you
which ones.
Take a bottle of good wine and tell him I sent you.
Have fun. April in Paris!

there are many galleries in Paris which fetature ceramics. Try to find a
French publication called La Revue de Deramique et du Verre. It lists all
the galleries.
If your reference sources cannot help you contact me with a fax number and I
will copy such a list for you from their latest issue. I cannot do that at
this moment but can given enough time to put my hands on it, copy the list
and fax it to you.
Good Luck!

Dear Bruce;
I spent five weeks last summer visiting mostly wood fire potters =20
around France. Depending upon where your travel leads you, there is =20
much to see. For a concentration of serious potters, Henrichemont, La =20=
Borne, and St. Amand-en-Puisaye are hard to beat. There is a fine =20
central 'base' B&B in Henrichemont, called "Boisbelle", which is run =20
by the parents of Maya Rousseau, a fine potter. They can be reached =20
here: http://www.boisbelle.fr/ two lovely rooms with super baths, =20
with great breakfasts served on Maya and Nicolas' pottery. They can =20
provide dinners as well.
Herv=E9Rousseau's pottery is right across the street from Boisbelle, =20
and there are others nearby, while La Borne(10 Km distant) has thirty =20=
or so potters, most firing with wood. There also, you can find maps =20
of the potters' locations and the town maintains a ceramics gallery. =20
Among fine potters there are Eric Astoul, Roz Herrin, Hugh West, and =20
Seungho Yang.
Across the Loire River from Sancerre is St. Amande-en-Puisaye, which =20
has an information kiosk with shows of local pottery and maps to =20
their locations.
And not far at all from St Amande is Gu=E9delon, a site where they are =20=
building an 11th century castle using only materials gathered or =20
grown on the site, and using only 11th century methods. There is a =20
potter and a tile maker among the 34 workers building the castle. Any =20=
potter would be fascinated to see everything here...... ropemaking, =20
basketmaking, stone cutting, man hoists, iron forging, etc.
Nearby Gu=E9delon and owned by the same gent, is St. Fargeau and a 16th =20=
century Ch=E2teau in which the considerable roof/attic structure is =20
open to tourists. Carpentry we can only admire as we look jealously =20
at every detail.
There are many other potters worth a visit in France....... check =20
with me for more as your itinerary firms.
Cheers, Hank

As others have advised La Borne is a must, however if you find yourself anywhere near Saumur on La Loire south of Le Mans, there is an excellent Potter named Charles Hair at Thizay.
Take the D947 and D7 heading S.E. from Saumur, turning onto the D751 for Saint-Germain-sur-Vienne. Thizay is about 5Km on from there.
Sadly he doesn't have a website, but in my opinion he is well worth a visit.

Bruce,
We were in France last year and stayed at a great place in La Borne, near H=
enrichemont, run by a woman (potter) named Christine Pedley. She rents out =
a complete cottage with bathe room, kitchen (complete with hand thrown dish=
es), fireplace, etc. walking distance to "town", La Borne is very small, an=
d more potters than you can visit in a couple of weeks. The price is very r=
easonable too. Most potters in this area fire with wood and many of the stu=
dios are well set up. I thank Hank for telling us about this area before we=
went. You can find more about La Borne and the "Gite" from the information=
below that my wife compiled to send to people that were asking about the a=
rea.
=A0 We stayed at a "Gite" owned by Christine Pedley. She is an English pott=
er who has lived there 31 years. She rents several
appartment/cottage spaces and calls her little complex a Gite. It was quai=
nt, beautiful and about a block form the local pottery museum. Next to that=
museum is a contemporary gallery where they show the work of local potters=
and provide information on how to get to their studios. Also there are abo=
ut six galleries and pottery studios, a cozy restaurant and a tiny grocery =
store close by. Then within a few miles is a town square, in Henrichemont, =
gas station and large grocery store more places to eat and several bakeries=
. La Borne is about two hours from Paris.
=A0We paid $200 for four nights at Christine Pedley's Gite.=20

Hi Bruce,
A fellow Aussie potter conducts pottery tours around the Lyon and Provence
region of France. She is over there 3 or 4 times each year and takes Aussie
potters to exhibit at some of the French Potters Markets, particularly the
Lyon event.
Her name is Jane Annois and you might want to contact her to gather some
more information, here are her details:-

There is also a great book "Guide des ceramists en France" which list nearly
2000 potters and sculptors in France. You can learn more about it at
www.revue-ceramique-verre.com. I have the 3rd edition (4th is the current)
and it is a great resource.

Or perhaps because potters were the underclass........ 'potters'
field' remember?
Now, Henrichemont is glad to have them! reminds me of Rumi's poem
about the Lame Goat!
You've seen a herd of goats
going down to the water.
The lame and dreamy goat
brings up the rear.
There are worried faces about that one,
but now they're laughing,
because look, as they return
that goat is leading!
There are many different kinds of knowing.
the lame goat's kind is a branch
that traces back to the roots of presence.
Learn from the lame goat,
and lead the herd home.

And in that book you will find the expression "auto-didacte" by =20

apprenticeships, workshops, and schools in England and abroad.
