Since childhood, pottery has fascinated her. As a child, she found the art inaccessible, but for her, pottery became an obvious choice and a need to return to the craft. Armed with dexterity, patience and, above all, passion, <strong>she works in stoneware and porcelain.<\/strong> Magali designs local tableware, either by hand (modeling) or on a lathe (turning). In her <strong>workshop<\/strong>, she makes all kinds of <strong>decorations, from the table to the garden.<\/strong><\/p><p>Pottery is above all an art of patience, and it takes a lot of trial and error to achieve a satisfactory result. During drying or firing, cracks, textural or color problems are beyond her control. The potter no longer counts the hours when she models. She lets her imagination run wild <strong>to create unique pieces.<\/strong><\/p><p>In particular, Magali <strong>creates turned pieces,<\/strong> for which the clay must first be prepared by hand. It is then dried, colored, dried again for several hours and finally fired. She believes that people need to rediscover themselves, to reconnect with themselves through the gesture of a manual art. But it&#8217;s also about manipulating a piece of our planet to enable mankind to eat and drink.<strong> The art of pottery is the lungs of culinary

the <a href=\"https:\/\/chateau-gaillard-amboise.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Domaine Royal de Ch\u00e2teau Gaillard<\/strong> <\/a>has since been restored to its former glory. From 2012 to 2013, the worksite began with <strong>clearing and deforestation<\/strong>, and over 800 trees were cut down. 1,200 m of trenches had to be created to replace the plumbing, electricity and water systems. It took 40 tonnes of gravel, 140 tonnes of concrete and 50 masons to move forward together on the dozen or so sites on the estate.<\/p><p>Between 2014 and 2015,<strong> 1,200 m of scaffolding<\/strong> were needed to gain access to the roof to change the 75,000 slate sheets. It took 6 months of work to rearrange and refurbish the ch\u00e2teau&#8217;s inner courtyard. Ornamenting, painting, removing plaster and cement, tinting lime&#8230; it&#8217;s as many manipulations as craftsmen who follow one another on the site of the estate to restore it to its former youth.<\/p><p>Renovating an estate of this size required <strong>6 years of hard work, some 100,000 hours of labor<\/strong>, by some <strong>40 Touraine artisans and craftsmen and their 300 workers<\/strong>, who put their talents to work on this exceptional restoration.<\/p><p>To mark the 10th anniversary of the rebirth of the Domaine Royal de Ch\u00e2teau Gaillard, <strong>an artistic finial crowned the ch\u00e2tea<\/strong>u. The artisans who designed this polychrome chimera were the 14th craftsmen to work on the restoration of the orange paradise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7cf43db elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7cf43db\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d27efd8\" data-id=\"d27efd8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1106ed elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b1106ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-69b2965 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69b2965\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-965e127\" data-id=\"965e127\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3f1047 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e3f1047\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Verrerie d'Art d'Amboise<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1553e13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1553e13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2014, <strong>Patrick Lepage<\/strong> set up his new workshop in a magical location: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verreriedartdamboise.com\/qui-sommes-nous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>a troglodyte cellar<\/strong><\/a> in Charg\u00e9, a few kilometers from Amboise. <strong>Pierre Gallou<\/strong>, a glassblower and Patrick Lepage&#8217;s pupil for 14 years, works in this <strong>workshop<\/strong> where warmth and creativity meet. He creates u<strong>nique glass pieces<\/strong> that can take up to several months to complete.<\/p><p>Handling glass is an art he has mastered to perfection, using his cane to shape <strong>the hot glass just out of a kiln at over 3,000\u00b0<\/strong>. He creates one-off pieces on demand. To create all kinds of shapes, the glassmaker gathers a mass of molten glass at the end of his cane. He rotates his metal rod continuously to obtain a homogeneous mass. <strong>The glassmaker blows the glass, cools it, heats it in the furnace and adds molten glass.<\/strong> To add color, the technique is different if the color is outside or inside the piece.<\/p><p>The glassworks has<strong> several hand-built furnaces.<\/strong> The latest furnace in use has no timer, and Pierre, the glass artisan, has to check the glass firing often and lower the temperature so that the firing is even throughout the piece and doesn&#8217;t break. Pierre has always learned to work alone on his creations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
