Back to Basics - First build your oven! New Summer Classes

And now for something completely different! We are going back to basics: this summer, in a two part class, we will first be making the oven……



Under expert tuition from David Hosie of Presbytere Poterie, you will learn how to build an adobe oven in the garden. Working with clay dug from the Gascon terre, we will shape and mould it to make a lovely domed oven...



...which, in Class II, you will learn to fire (with wood or charcoal) and cook all manner of things from esclavida to kebaps and pizzas.



50€ per evening includes supper with wine
