Violaine welcomed us with simplicity and warmth. With her kind advice, each member of the group was able to learn about raku, and leave with two small creations. A great moment of creativity and conviviality that I recommend to everyone, young and old. All we want to do is come back.

We didn't know Raku at all and this moment filled us with wonder 🌟 Violaine is very welcoming, passionate and helped us discover and experiment with the Raku technique, the art of fire, in complete safety, with a real joy in passing on her passion.... Thank you Violaine for this magical moment ☀️
