What to bring:
Slippers for inside the house/Gîte
An apron
Packing materials (for wrapping your pottery for the journey home)

Slippers for indoors, if you prefer
Comfortable shoes for exploring the surroundings
A warm sweater/jacket for cooler days
A raincoat (just in case!)
The studio is fully equipped, but you are welcome to bring your own tools, though this is at your own risk.
In La Borne, it can get cold, so warm, comfortable clothes for working are recommended.
What is not available in the studio:
If you've booked a room, there's no need to bring bedding—this is included with the rooms.
What is not available in the rooms:
Towels for showering.
Slippers for indoors, if you prefer.
If you're camping, that's no problem at all. You can set up your tent or camper near the guesthouse.
Schedule of Events
On the day of arrival, I, Frank, expect you between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. To finish the final preparations and be fully present for my guests, I kindly ask you not to arrive before 6:00 PM.
If you arrive earlier, it’s a great opportunity to relax with a drink at a terrace in La Borne.
After arriving, campers can set up their tents, and those with rooms can unpack their suitcases. At 7:00 PM, we’ll enjoy an aperitif, followed by a welcome dinner.
The next morning, at 8:30 AM, we’ll start with a typical French breakfast, including baguette and jam. The workshop begins at 9:00 AM in the studio. The studio is a short distance from the guesthouse where we’ll be staying. We can either walk or take a 10-minute drive by car.
At 1:00 PM, we’ll all return to the guesthouse for lunch and a short break until 3:00 PM. From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, we’ll have another lesson, and at the end of the day, we’ll take a tour of the village, including a visit to the local pottery workshops.
At 7:00 PM, we’ll serve an aperitif, and at 8:00 PM, we’ll gather for dinner. The course will end on the final day after breakfast.
Good to know: Cooking is our passion but not our profession. The meals will be simple but delicious!
