Serendipity led Marie-France Dequin to settle in the village of Penne-d'Agenais almost 40 years ago. "I've blossomed here," she admits with a broad smile. She has built up a loyal local clientele, supplemented by numerous holidaymakers passing through. She works with vegetable-tanned leather, sourced from French and Italian tanneries, for belts and other products. She also makes a variety of leather goods, including handbags, purses, etc. Her talent and kindness make her a remarkable person.

Teddy Perrot (artist name: Dee-T) has always been artistically inclined. After learning to weld, he began making metal sculptures from salvaged objects, such as old tools. Their shape inspires the finished result. For example, he transformed a hammer into a shark. Silhouettes of dancers, a violin, lighting fixtures: his imagination knows no bounds. A life-size iron horse is one of his finest creations. You can admire some of his creations in his boutique.

Fascinated by wood, Fabien Roma decided to make it his profession. He became a professional thanks to a long training course at the Escoulen school, a renowned establishment in the Var region dedicated to woodturning. Since 2023, he has been a member of Ateliers d'Art de France. Fabien offers tableware and interior design pieces for sale, with a natural finish. He uses only local wood, which he recycles for his creations. Inspired and virtuous.

A graduate of the Paris School of Applied Arts, young Laurine has been working as a stained glass artist in Penne-d'Agenais since 2023.

Her work can be seen in an exhibition space in her studio. Laurine will tell you all about it.

Eve-Gabrielle Rosset is a talented ceramist who works without a potter's wheel. She uses only her hands and traditional methods (pincé, colombin).

If you drop in to her boutique workshop, you may be lucky enough to see her bring one of her beautiful handcrafted pieces to life. She also gives modeling lessons and organizes summer workshops by prior arrangement.
