Lavender-themed Pottery:

Creating pottery pieces adorned with lavender motifs is an excellent way to capture the essence of Provence and the French Riviera. Participants could make lavender-scented sachets, decorative tiles, or vases embellished with lavender sprigs and flowers.

Seaside-inspired Pottery:

Draw inspiration from the stunning coastal landscapes of the French Riviera to create pottery pieces that reflect the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. Consider making seashell-shaped dishes, wave-patterned bowls, or sea creature sculptures that evoke the region's maritime charm

Provençal Cuisine Utensils:

Explore the culinary traditions of Provence by crafting pottery objects designed for cooking and dining. Participants could make olive oil pourers, garlic graters, herb pots, or traditional Provençal ceramic dishes like tians or casseroles, inspired by the flavors and ingredients of the region.

Lemon Plates:

Showcase the lush flora and vibrant botanicals of the French Riviera in your pottery creations. Encourage participants to experiment with floral motifs inspired by indigenous plants such as lavender, rosemary, jasmine, or citrus fruits like lemons and oranges, creating decorative plates, bowls, or planters adorned with intricate botanical designs.

Olive Branches:

Olive branches are a symbol of peace, prosperity, and Mediterranean heritage. Participants can create decorative plates adorned with intricate olive leaf motifs.

Cicadas:

Cicadas are a beloved symbol of Provence, representing the essence of summertime and the song of the Mediterranean countryside. Incorporate cicada motifs into pottery pieces to evoke the nostalgia and romance of Provencal summers. Participants can sculpt ceramic cicadas or create relief tiles featuring cicada designs, capturing the intricate patterns and textures of these iconic insects. Encourage participants to explore the symbolism of cicadas in their pottery creations, incorporating them into functional pieces like serving platters, decorative tiles, or garden ornaments.

Open theme class:

Participants are pushed to explore their artistic expression and personal style by offering open-ended themes for their pottery projects. Themes could include "Mediterranean Dreams," "Sun-kissed Horizons," "Riviera Romance," or "Coastal Serenity," allowing participants to interpret these themes in their own unique way through their pottery creations.
