Description
Hi dear workawayers, For almost 20 years I live and work in France. I'm from Holland but live in France now. Together with my partner and with the help of friends we’ve built this old farmhouse into a nice place to live. Its a quiet place, in a friendly very small town. We are both potters. We have a great atelier and love working with ceramics.
