      Nesmy pottery creations include utilitarian and decorative objects,such as vases, bowls, plates and dishes. Each piece is shaped by hand,often on a potter's wheel, and features elegant forms and meticulous finishes. The potters use traditional throwing techniques, and you're welcome to come and discover this wonderful craft.

    Great visit - visite tres agreable We had such a lovely time going around the pottery in Nesmy. The lady showed us round and explained the history of the place as well as the process and different stages of making pottery, from having the clay delivered (clay with sand and other impurities) to the finished products. The potter gave a demonstration, we also saw how pots are glazed and painted/ decorated. You can order pots /bowls etc with your choice of inscription or pattern. They also sometimes do sessions where you can decorate your own pot or bowl, and of course you can buy a packet of clay to have a go at modelling clay at home. It is a lovely place, very friendly, no pressure to buy although of course the temptation is great. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    We did a filming discovery workshop (half day) in the morning, and it was incredible. Time goes by really fast. The atmosphere is great. We took advantage of a break to visit the pottery and the shop. It is also possible to do a modeling workshop. Very friendly owners and employees. I recommend with your eyes closed.
