Clay days in Vallauris
Karine Garzi's atelier offers half-day and full-day clay modelling for visitors. You leave with a piece you made yourself — fired and shipped, or collected on a later visit.

A Creative Holiday in the South of France
Beyond beaches and rosé, the South of France has been a working ground for artists for more than a century. A creative holiday here can include actual making — not just looking.
Pair it with the region
Mornings in the atelier pair well with afternoons in Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the Maeght Foundation, or the perfumeries of Grasse. Many guests build a week of art, food and slow coastal exploration around two or three sessions in the studio.
For couples, friends, families
Sessions are private or in small mixed groups, suitable for adults and motivated teenagers. No prior experience required.
