I’m featured in Craft Coop Camberley’s Monday “Meet the Maker” spot this week, looking like a chipmunk!😂😂😂😂
✨MONDAY MEET THE MAKER- Jane Schneider aka Petits Carreaux !✨
"I'm Jane, and I haven't yet met a craft I don't like. I'm a bit of a serial crafter, and tend to move on to the next one once I've mastered the basics. Until, that is, I discovered pottery. I began by taking an adult education class about 15 years ago, and now here we are. I called my business Petits Carreaux because my other job at the time was teaching French to business clients, and I began my pottery journey making and selling tiles. Petits Carreaux means "little squares" or "little tiles" so the name seemed appropriate.
I've always preferred making hand built earthenware pottery because it allows me to use brighter colours, but recently I've started taking throwing more seriously to try once and for all to become more proficient. I blame "The Great Pottery Throwdown" for making it look easy!
I now mainly make pots with faces, and I enjoy embellishing them with dangly earrings and floral headdresses. Once you add a plant or a bunch of flowers, they come alive."
