Manon Collot from the Maison Rose pottery
Manon Collot has been a potter for over 20 years, and she founded the Maison Rose pottery in Prayssac. I’ve been following her work for some time, and I wanted to write an article about her and her work for La Vie Quercynoise, to coincide with her summer events with the workshops she organises for adults and children.
I wasn’t mistaken: Manon is warm, radiant, and passionate, and her workshop-boutique is magnificent. Don’t hesitate to leave the center of Prayssac to visit the Niaudon area and discover her work or learn about pottery. She practices exclusively with stoneware, loves the surprises of the glazes she creates, and enjoys fulfilling commissions to allow her clients to have a custom piece as much as creating real or imaginary animals through modeling. She speaks of her practice with simplicity and precision; I was drinking in her words!

From july 6 to 24 : exhibition Arbonirisme in Lherm
The Arbonirisme exhibition will be visible at the art gallery of the village of Lherm from July 6 to 24, 7 days a week from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. I will be there to meet the public on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The opening will take place on Saturday July 6 at 6 p.m.
But… What is arbonirisme?
It is an invitation to dream under the trees, to remember the past, to envisage the future. It is a work on the passing of time, since the tree is the living being which shows us the seasons, the years, the decades, the centuries, sometimes the millennia. Just as children see animals or faces in the clouds, the photos in this series invite you to use your imagination and see, through the branches and leaves, shapes and images.
Not to mention that the village of Lherm, located in Bouriane, is very pretty and worth a stroll through its charming little streets, before enjoying the terrace of the Bar à Trucs and the friendliness of its team.
