SUMMARY:Les Mains Guidees Workshop -- Santons de Provence CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Vermilionville is proud to have Kate Ferry return for another Les Mains Guidées Saturday\, December 2 making Les Santons de Provence\, traditional clay figurines that the Provençal make to place in the Christmas Crèche. This was so much fun last year\, we made Santons of the traditional figures\, but also some familiar Vermilionville characters\, like Louie the Cat and Mr. October\, Brady McKellar. Make plans to come! \nKate Ferry is a well-known area artist\, designer and illustrator who has made a career of doing award-winning work for Louisiana agencies and clients\, while also producing her own works including murals\, paintings and other artworks. \nThe crib is composed of figures called “santons” which formed French villages some centuries ago\, the shepherd\, the drummer\, the village idiot and many others. The first Christmas crib known in France was set up in 1775 in Marseille. Nowadays they are set up around the end of November\, or beginning of December and dismantled after Epiphany when the Three Kings join the other figures. The origin of the word “santon” is the Provencal noun “santoun” which means little saint. Santons are traditionally hand made of clay and painted by artisans\, and you can have that same experience at our workshop. We will be making Santons with Sculpey\, which will then be fired and painted\, and placed in the crèche. \nSome of the figures we will be making: The Newborn Jesus\, Virgin Mary\, Father Joseph\, donkey\, sheep\, Three Kings\, angels\, along with some more familiar Vermilionville figures including The Seamstress/Weaver\, The Tribal Chief\, The Woodcarver\, The Trapper\, The Cook\, The Breadmaker\, The Blacksmith\, The Musicians (Fiddler\, Accordion Player\, Rubboard Player)\, The Basketmaker\, The Quiltmaker\, The Storyteller\, The Boatbuilder\, and more. Each workshop attendee can expect to make and paint at least two or three figurines\, to take home or to leave as part of the Vermilionville crèche over the holidays. \nThe workshop will be held Saturday\, December 2\, 10 AM – 3 PM\, with all supplies and tools provided. Fee $55\, tickets available below. There will be a break from 12 noon-1:30 PM in order to fire the figurines.
