exploring your creativity
Provence is a land of clays, each colour and texture telling its own story.
By working directly with these soils, we step back into an ancient dialogue between humans and earth. This retreat is a chance to reconnect with that dialogue, to experiment freely, and to carry its spirit into your own practice.


Each morning, As the sun rises over the hills, we share breakfast together and slowly step into the rhythm of the day, gathering in the studio where clay awaits.
In our ceramic workshops, you’ll learn the tradition of Onggi pottery, a practice rooted in simple, generous forms, and explore hand-building as an intuitive, creative process. There is no right or wrong, no perfect outcome to chase. Just clay, hands, and the quiet discovery of shapes that begin to appear.
Afternoons flow between movement, cultural excursions, and moments of rest. We wander through Provençal markets, visit an artist's studio, walk the olive groves together, or spend unhurried hours in the studio, letting new forms emerge. Evenings are for gathering again, sharing food, stories, laughter.
Slowly, the days find their own rhythm, carried by the landscape, the clay, and the group that forms around the table.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
