In October we had a number of groups of students from the National Centre of Ceramics in Wales come to undertake kiln building and firing workshops, each group had a specific challenge this group had to create a fire sculpture using the principals of kiln construction to animate their sculpture through  the control of fire. There follows a trailer for the event of the firing... it worked wonderfully!

The arrival of Dupo 17...le chaton de La Perdrix

6/12/2011

0 Comments

 
This is Dupo 17 (aka Tybalt)  a little abandoned kitten found and cared for this week by our lovely house guests from UCL. Introductions between Ralph and Dupo went as well as can be expected...in as much as the kitten survived, largely due to the fact Johnny was sat on Ralph throughout. Dupo was  however intrigued by Ralphie's wagging tail and fearlessly made a dive for it, and actuality bit the end of it... that was the end of the encounter.

Good times were had by all, the were blessed with  fine weather,  they visited Auberterre, Kate swam in the river, they wrote some essays, made some work, ate some fine food, cooked some darn good food, drank a fair bit of wine, met some interesting folk, soaked a few rays, visited potters and Jacqui fell in love with Ralph ...or was it vice versa!

    Welcome to our La Perdrix blog.
    Well we've had a busy start to 2012 and have much to report already with a wonderful wedding, exhibition and a ceramic course all happening in April.

    Not to mention the steady stream of visitors... hopefully I'll manage to keep it updated and exciting this year.

    Dupo the kitten is all grown up, and Ralph is as happy as ever!

    The veg plot is underway and the wisteria has been particularly impressive this year...and out in ideal time for the wedding!
