GRANDS FEUX : 22 - 30 OCTOBER 2016
Since 1977, the Ceramics Association of La Borne and the Contemporary Ceramics Centre of La Borne have regularly been offering events allowing visitors to have the unique experience of being present at wood firings in a kiln. These are special moments for sharing. This year our event will bring together 15 kilns and thirty or so ceramists who will be carrying out firings from 22 to 30 October 2016. They look forward to helping you discover the art of fire. Take a stroll round the village and the surrounding area, and make a stop to visit the ceramist of your choice. There will be other activities on offer to the public in the course of this week. There will be encounters with the earth, culture and creation, film shows, conferences, round table events, workshops, demonstrations presented by professionals, children’s events and an evening of musical festivities on the Saturday evening.
