Chez Ga-L
A holiday destination where curious minds can explore artisan skills and slow living, in a permaculture setting.
Handcrafted creations
This site (and this farm) are still under construction…
But like any good project, it all starts with bricks, dreams, and a bit of mud.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The soaps will be minimalist! Handmade using cold-process saponification (moisturizing, unlike industrial soaps), without essential oils (not eco-friendly), controversial micas, or food ingredients diverted from their intended use. The colors will be obtained with clays, and the recipes will be effective and respectful of skin, people, and the environment.
Ceramics and pottery
Bowls, mugs, seedling pots, basins, lighting... Each piece will be designed for everyday use or to enhance a space. Firings will be carefully organized, the glazing will be carefully considered to optimize resources and only initiate a second firing if necessary. Objects that are first useful, then beautiful, even fun, made to last, with the imprint of gesture and time.
Upcycling and renovation
Nothing is wasted: upcycled furniture, reclaimed fabrics, repurposed objects, each creation aims for zero waste through recycling and upcycling. As many raw materials as possible will be produced on the farm: willows and wicker for weaving, reclaimed or hand-spun textiles... Here we transform, we mend, we repurpose... to give objects a second life .
