Pottery Retreats, Lessons & Gift Shop

with Francesca Eyre
in Provence & Morzine

Welcome to
Chilly Powder Pottery

Chilly Powder Pottery invites you to experience ceramics in two inspiring settings - the sun-soaked village of Cabrières d’Aigues in Provence and the mountain charm of Morzine-Avoriaz in the French Alps.

Hosted by Francesca Eyre, these pottery retreats and lessons blend creativity and relaxation. In Provence, mornings unfold in a bright studio surrounded by vineyards and the Luberon hills. In Morzine, guests can enjoy hands-on pottery sessions amid alpine views - perfect after a day on the slopes or trails.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced potter, Francesca offers a warm welcome, time to relax and a chance to share in her passion.
