A small ceramics workshop located near Foix, they mainly produce stoneware tableware. Their pieces are shaped on a potter's wheel then decorated one by one... Each one is unique!
On the still raw piece is placed a decoration of colored clays (slip technique) in which a pattern can be engraved with a needle; then a first firing at 980° is carried out.
