About

In Quimper, visitors have been touring the Henriot-Quimper factory for more than a hundred years. In 30 minutes, the guided tour takes you into the heart of the workshops, where faience is still made and painted by hand. In July and August, tours run Monday to Friday at 11 am, 2.30 pm, 3.30 pm and 4.30 pm. The Faience Museum runs modelling workshops open to all, to get your hands in the clay, at 10 € per person. Moineaux & Co is a ceramics workshop and shop: modelling classes and courses, faience made in the workshop, ceramics by local makers, books and pottery supplies.
