Grand-mother knitting

In Provençal families, the grandmother held a central place. She was the one who prepared the gros souper and the thirteen desserts of Christmas, who kept the recipes and songs, and who watched over the grandchildren. Seated on her bench, she embodies the tender, generous memory everyone associates with their childhood.

Our 20 cm grandmother on the bench is a large piece, made to be displayed. She can accompany the grandfather on the bench, offered in the same size, to recreate an elderly couple. It is a gift full of emotion for Grandmother's Day, a birthday or a family tribute.

She is made in our Aix-en-Provence workshop following the Fouque family method: hand-sculpted model, molding, several weeks of drying, gradual firing at 960 °C and slow cooling, then hand painting, motif after motif.

This model is made to order only. Send us your request by email; the lead time varies with the season. The piece is not shipped: it must be collected from our shop-workshop, 65 cours Gambetta in Aix-en-Provence.
