FAQ

Do I need experience?

Our retreats are designed to welcome all levels, from complete beginners to experienced potters. Most retreats require no previous experience, and the workshops allow everyone to develop their skills at their own pace. If a particular retreat requires prior experience, this will be clearly stated in the retreat description. 

What is included?

Your retreat includes 3–6 nights’ accommodation, depending on the retreat, as well as all meals during your stay: dinner on arrival day, breakfast and lunch on departure day, and three meals a day in between.

The full pottery course is included, along with unlimited access to the studio outside workshop hours, so you can continue working on your pieces whenever inspiration strikes. All clay, materials, glazes and firings are included.

The only additional cost is shipping your finished pieces to you after the retreat, should you wish to have them sent. 

What about the rooms?

Both single and shared rooms are available. The listed retreat price is based on sharing a double room with another retreat participant.

If you prefer a room to yourself, a single-room supplement of €50 per night applies.

How do I get there?

We’ll send you detailed directions for reaching Mas Fauvette by car. If you’re travelling by public transport, we offer complimentary pick-up from Argelès-sur-Mer for guests arriving by bus or train.

Pick-up from Perpignan train station can also be arranged for a fee of €20

What happens to the pottery?

Your pieces will be fired after the retreat and can be collected from the studio once they are ready. If you prefer, we can also carefully pack and ship them to you; shipping costs are not included and are payable by the participant.
