Ule Ewelt, German artist, will give a demonstration on site. A great admirer of prehistoric creations, she makes animal sculptures in a neo-Magdalenian spirit. She will create a mammoth and we will be able to follow her work, from modeling the earth to cooking during these four days.
Bénédicte Vallet will exhibit her “ceramic textiles” at the church, pieces where fragments of porcelain and natural fibers mix. The ceramist Matthieu Hettema will lead a modeling workshop, and a specialized bookstore will be open. Finally, visitors will be invited to vote for the public prize.
