La Maison du Potier

At the heart of the Village Potier, the clay quarries and the Mauges, in the centre of the Angers-Nantes-Cholet triangle, you'll find the Maison du Potier. Museum with interactive tours and demonstrations for young and old; courses and events; shop.

At the Maison du Potier, you're in exactly the right place to discover a local craft: pottery.

Young and old alike can have fun on the tour, watching demonstrations and taking part in the manipulations, playing with the clay... It's a fun visit, ideal for the whole family, with a guide or on your own with the help of a fun booklet, to try your hand at becoming a real pottery apprentice!
Through the recently updated scenography, everyone can discover the world of ceramics, from the object to the work of art.

During your visit, you'll be able to watch a film retracing the steps involved in extracting the clay and making a pot.

The visit can continue with a modelling workshop, where children can play with clay and awaken their creativity.

And to round off the day, take a walk in the clay moors, just a stone's throw from the Maison du Potier...

Workshops and courses for adults and children are offered throughout the year, and during the school holidays. Check out the annual programme of events on the Maison du Potier website.
