As an intermediate potter looking to take my throwing to the next level, I discovered Sylph’s 17th century Mill and sanctuary at Le Moulin, in the Dordogne, France. This was without a doubt the most wonderful ceramic training I have ever experienced, in the most beautiful setting imaginable. The Mill transports you back in time and is visually stunning. The buildings have been carefully and lovingly restored while keeping the original architecture in mind.
As an instructor, Sylph goes above and beyond to assure that you come away having improved your skills but also inspired to take on the next challenge. I chose to make a teapot, something I had never attempted and knew would be difficult, with all of its individual components. Sylph has endless patience and I loved the challenge. I am so pleased with the results and can’t wait to get back into my own studio to apply what I’ve learned.
And if all of the above wasn’t enough…the accommodations, meals and care I received during my stay were exceptional. I am already dreaming about returning!
