Lecordier

Seki mo kontan ek potri, se sa santiman ki mo gagne sak fwa ki mo komans met lame dan lapat, mo vid mo lespri net ek konsantre dan seki mo pe kree ek prodwir.

What I love about pottery is this feeling that I get when I start working with the clay; this helps me clear my mind and focus on what I am creating and producing.

Catherine first learned about pottery from a friend, who told her that a workshop in La Gaulette was looking for people who were interested in learning the skills and start a new trade. She joined the workshop and has become hooked on the craft. When the workshop closed its doors in 2009, it sold some of its equipment and materials to Beautiful Localhands, and Catherine was also invited to join the project.

She became the team leader of the Beautiful Localhands pottery workshop. Having developed many skills and techniques from her previous experience, she was handed the responsibility to train the women who joined the project.

Catherine is now part of an organised group of dedicated, passionate and hard-working women at the Beautiful Localhands Bambous workshop. Together, they make high-quality pottery products for hotels, individual clients and souvenir shops. Throughout the years, they have learned many pottery techniques, gained significant self-confidence and developed several business skills together as a group.
