The Pottery at Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, land of ochre and clay
Don’t miss the « Art and Craft » town of Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye on the border between Yonne and Nièvre. The area is rich in ochre and clay, so it is hardly surprising that pottery is top of the list ! Visit the workshops including the former pottery of M. Gaubier which depicts the life and work of potters in days gone by. To know more about the history of pottery, head for the Renaissance château at Saint Amand en Puisaye and its museum of earthenware. During a one hour visit, discover a superb collection of items from five centuries of pottery making, including the first objects of cookware used in the Nivernais region of Burgundy ! Stroll around enchanting Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye to see how clay is turned into a little Puisaye pot at some of the workshops of the town’s 25 ceramicists and potters and visit the art gallery which has exhibitions by local artists.
