Montignies-sur-Roc is the village of potters and ceramists. Go and meet these artisans, like J-J Mathieu, who, in his Atelier du Plat Caillou, offers productions in raku or enamelled stoneware, or Renée Gauquie and Lucien Vandaele, who, at 93 and 88 years of age, embody a part of the history of the locality with their pottery workshop housed in part of their house.
In the Namur region, don’t miss the ArtPero gallery in Crupet, which offers art lovers paintings, sculptures and jewellery by various artists through exhibitions, workshops and meetings, etc.
The village of Soiron hasn’t been overlooked, as you can discover Pili Garcia, a virtuoso in the art of hat making, “Ti Monde en Papier”, a small world of animals and unique coloured accessories made from paper maché, or the creations of the cabinetmaker Lejeune.
Are you interested in a ceramic workshop or a local Arts and Crafts shop? Isabelle Damsaint is a visual artist and ceramist who develops her projects and creativity in the village of My. Her work is mainly inspired by experience, encounters and the connection to the “living”. Colour, material, form, look and touch are at the centre of her artistic approach.
