“Un petit tour de terre”: Learn Pottery in a Provençal Farmhouse — Where Clay Meets Nature and the Art of Living

Looking to slow down, create, and learn a traditional craft with heart?
Welcome to Un petit tour de terre, a unique pottery studio set in a family farmhouse in the Gard region of Provence, where pottery blends with passion, transmission, and the Provençal way of life.

Our experienced potter and instructor offers custom-made training sessions, available year-round, for adults of all levels, either one-on-one or in a private small group (2 to 4 people maximum).

Personalized Pottery Training at Your Pace

Each course begins with a personal exchange to understand your goals. You can explore several techniques:

• Wheel throwing – master the basics and create bowls, mugs, vases

• Slab work – craft precise, structured pieces

• Coil building – ideal for freeform, sculptural shapes

➡️ All levels welcome
➡️ Year-round availability
➡️ One-on-one or private group (2–4 people)

✅ Qualiopi Certified – Funding via OPCO Available

Our studio is Qualiopi certified, which allows professional training funds to cover the cost of your course (depending on your status: employee, artisan, freelancer, job seeker…).

We can assist you with your application if needed.
