Provencal Pottery

The Provence region has produced earthenware since the days of the Romans. Pottery workshops, complete with kilns dating from the first century AD have been excavated in La Butte de Carnes near Marseille. Over the centuries, pottery continued to be made in individual workshops, both for domestic use and for export through the Mediterranean seaports. Then in the 19th century, factories began to appear in answer to the ever-growing demand for thrown or moulded cookware. But with the advent of new materials such as aluminium and plastic, these factories eventually closed.

Nowadays most provençal pottery is primarily decorative and three basic types of pottery are produced. Terre rouge, the most robust, is made primarily from the Red Clay of the region and then glazed. Our products from Poterie Galtie fall into this category. Faience is made from the finest local clays and can be distinguished from plain pottery by its enamel porcelain-like finish. This is the style of pottery you can see in our Festin Coquin range. The third style of pottery is Gres, made out of clay from central France.

Provence abounds with workshops where skilled artisans continue the best traditions of pottery making, producing attractive, colourful designs by hand. Look out for the many pottery fairs that take place throughout the region, particularly in the Summer. Aubagne in particular has a fantastic pottery market which draws in talented artisans to show their wares from all around the region. But whether you buy from a workshop, a boutique or a market, you really shouldn’t leave Provence without a piece of local pottery!

help, i need some advice?

i am taking the following classes next year (sophomore year):
english ii honors, spanish 3, global history ii honors, geometry, gym, and biology.
besides those classes, i can take an elective such as baking or pottery, or i can take a second language. i want to go to a Very Good college, so i thought taking a language might look more impressive. but i’m afraid if i take french or italian, it will be too similar and it will be difficult to keep track.
what should i do?
available languages: mandarin, japanese, french, italian, german, latin

Sounds to me, like you are taking all the classes allready that will stand out to college recruiters.

I would take a class that you would enjoy. (baking, pottery, etc.)

It certainly won’t look bad to a college to have one elective class with all the other “college prep” ones that you already have.

I think it would give you a nice break from your hard classes, and maybe be able to booster your GPA
