Artisanat Provence Grimaud 13In “arts and crafts” there is… art!
There is only one step separating a craftsperson and an artist as both demonstrate creativity.
A pinch of tradition, a drop of culture and plenty of love for Provence, are all that is added to this imagination to create a product that oozes the Provençal art of living.
The craftspeople of Provence pull out all the stops
A beautiful ceramic mug, a lovely leather bag or personalised traditional fabric… The arts and crafts of Provence come in all sorts of varieties in Grimaud!
Pottery and ceramic
You may have noticed that in Provence the potters use a whole array of colours! Red ceramic, green pottery and blue enamel, the brighter the shades, the more spectacular they are against the backdrop of the lavender field, so much so that we sometimes feel like we’re in a dream.
To see all these shades and more, come to one of the potter’s workshops in Grimaud. From a vase to spruce up the side of your swimming pool to a lamp that brightens your interior, or that one favourite mug to drink your morning coffee from, take the fantastic feeling of Provence back home with you!
Provençal fabric
Lavender, poppies, olive trees and sunflowers… The flowery colours don’t just decorate ceramics in Provence! Tablecloths, cushions, sofas or chairs, take advantage of stopping by to see Grimaud’s craftspeople to add a Mediterranean touch to your home furnishings. The printed patterns on the fabrics are a key part of Provençal arts and crafts because they seem to bring the sun into your home, whatever the season.
To take a beautiful collection home with you and feel like you’re back in Provence every time you enter your living room, put your trust in the region’s designers and embroiderers!
