Visito of a potter's workshop

Turning demonstration and discovery of the magical transformation of a ball of sandstone into a cup!
27 March - 2 April 2023Passed
la beauté des banalités

Come and discover how the ceramics of La Beauté des Banalités are made. Around a demonstration of turning a cup, Marie will take you through the process that transforms a ball of soil into a vase, a bowl or a cup.

We start with the pottery turning. This is the most famous part (and yes, to answer your question: it's the part like in the movie Ghost!). I put the earth on the tower, the center, the bore, go up the walls and the overall shape of the mug appears.

Then it's the turn of the finishing. I fix the part on the lathe thanks to 3 balls of earth. By rotating the piece and using a small metal tool, I will remove long shavings of soil. First, the mug is upside down, I come to dig the bottom of the room. I affix the seal of the mark then I turn the part in the right direction. With the same tool, I will refine and smooth the walls of the mug. Here is the final shape of the mug revealed.

Then the drying, the cooking...

A moment of discovery of the fascinating universe that is pottery!
