The Art of brunch
Shaping Autumn
CREATIVE WORKSHOP & SUNDAY BRUNCH
At the foot of Mont Ventoux, where materials speak as much as the landscape itself, Crillon le Brave invites guests to explore the art of ceramics alongside Emmanuelle Popelin, founder of POEM Ceramics. For her, everything begins with the hand with the touch of the clay, the attention given to form, and the time allowed for creation to unfold freely. Her workshops are designed as moments of grounding. Participants learn, of course, but above all, they slow down. Each piece gradually comes to life, guided with subtlety, in a simple and focused atmosphere.
Once shaped, the piece continues its journey in her studio glazing, firing before returning to you, transformed yet faithful to its original intention.
Create an object for gentlers days
As the days grow shorter, the desire for warm, comforting materials begins to settle in. This workshop invites participants to shape a ceramic mug inspired by the generous, rounded forms of autumn pumpkins. The clay is worked slowly, allowing an object to emerge that is meant for life’s simple moments: a warm drink, a pause, a moment to oneself.
Emmanuelle guides each step with care, giving everyone the freedom to interpret the shape and details as they wish. After the workshop, the piece continues its transformation in the studio—drying, glazing, firing. It will be ready about three weeks later, prepared for use and serving as a quiet extension of both the season and the experience shared.
