Someone was arranging his display while he walked around to see other basket-makers and their work. This is one aspect of such a specific artisanal fair: it is a point of exchange for artisans to meet and exchange ideas/techniques. Perhaps the same dynamics are underway in Limeuil today at the Pottery Fair, which I regret that i missed - always a wide range, from practical to whimsical approaches to clay. The Périgord is a good place for clay (as I dig enough of it in my garden) as well as willow, the ancient basic elements. Joy – that is formidable, he is 97……thanks for the details!

I was so pleased to read that M. Carrier , at 97 is still going to the fair in Issigeac. I often see him weaving in Molières. His baskets, as well as M. Carrier himself, are renowned in this area and they can be seen on display opposite the church on most days. I have been catching up with the Vagabonds travels and activities.
