🏢 About the local organisation
Ouvert au public depuis novembre 2014, le Patiau, centre d’art et d’histoire céramique de Saint-Jean-la Poterie est composé de trois espaces, trois ambiances : l’atelier de décoration sur faïence, qui est un chantier d’insertion géré par la Communauté de Communes du Pays de Redon, l’espace muséographique, sur l’histoire potière de la commune, et la galerie boutique, avec des expositions temporaires de céramique contemporaine. Pour faire vivre le lieu nous organisons également des animations enfants et adultes autour de la céramique : stages, ateliers, visites commentées, balades guidées au sein de la commune sur l’histoire potière, conférences, rencontres, …
Les visiteurs du Patiau sont principalement des individuels (Français et étrangers), mais nous accueillons également des groupes de tous types (scolaires, 3ème age, universités populaires, groupes d’adultes …).
Le Patiau s’inscrit également dans la dynamique de manifestations ponctuelles telles que les « Journées européennes des métiers d’art » en accueillant des expositions temporaires et en participant aux animations liées à ce genre d’actions.
Ce centre est communal, dépendant du Service Culture et Patrimoine de la commune de Saint-Jean-la-Poterie, son rayonnement est régional, voire national.
La commune de Saint-Jean-la-Poterie compte également deux écoles maternelles et primaires, elle y organise toute une série d’animations : les Temps d’Animations Périscolaires (TAPs). Ces animations récemment mises en place sont là pour permettre au élèves de découvrir d’autres activités que celles proposées en classe. Ces activités visent à favoriser l’accès de tous les enfants aux pratiques culturelles, artistiques, sportives,…
