Random Color and Funky Charm in a French Cottage

Random Color and Funky Charm in a French Cottage
It's quite miserable here, lots of rain, quite damp and chill. I am going through old magazines looking for windows into brighter worlds. I have this article in one of my magazines. The English couple who own the property are potters living in Burgundy at Noyers-Sur Seine a village near Chablis, not too far away. The pots and tiles they make are wonderful. The property is C15th with the name La Maison Des Sangliers coming from a pair of carved Sangliers found at each corner of a main house beam. The couple have a shop in their garden and produce earthenware with a white slip and decorated in a traditionally inspired way. You should take a look at their website poterie-squire.fr

I am drawing Sanglier now. I'd love to make a big copper Sanglier.
