  • She will have prepared 2 bowls for you.

We didn't know Raku at all and this moment filled us with wonder 🌟 Violaine is very welcoming, passionate and helped us discover and experiment with the Raku technique, the art of fire, in complete safety, with a real joy in passing on her passion.... Thank you Violaine for this magical moment ☀️

In winter, as the game takes place outdoors, you'll need an extra sweater ?(and thick socks!).
