Gordes Hilltop Village
$22.00
A hilltop village in the Vaucluse, the houses cascading down a limestone shelf in tiers of honey-coloured stone. The same calcaire used since Roman times, dry-stacked and pointed with mortar only where it has to be. The Sénanque Abbey sits four kilometres north in a fold of valley, lavender rows in front, twelfth-century walls behind, the photograph everyone knows. The viewpoint south of town on the D15 is where the village turns into a single sculpted object against the sky, especially the hour before the sun goes down.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
