The Potter’s Atelier
Craftmanship
« The work does not seek beauty, it is the beauty which is born of the work » (KAWAI KANJIRO Japanese potter)
The Maison Hulotte Atelier
It's a place of learning, exchange, and relaxation. It is open to guests who are curious to discover the different types of clay, the techniques of throwing and turning or glazing before firing.
Agnès will share with you the pleasures of stoneware or porcelain turning.
"If the clay keeps the imprint of the gesture, the hand learns a lot from the clay. It is the hand that will educate the gesture, make it right, inform it by its strength, and teaches it to transform it into a nuanced contained strength. (L’Eloge de l’empreinte )
A relaxing corner in front of the fireplace is set up to take the time to watch. "Stoneware is a beautiful material, an ideal material, glazed or not, which is sufficient in itself. When stoneware meets this conception it can give deep artistic enjoyment that makes you dream as if you were looking at something superior" (Catalogue of the exhibition "400 years of pottery in Puisaye")
