the buildings in this beautiful walled village had been captured in miniature using limoges clay years ago by local architect, painter and sculptor jean-pierre gault and now by his brother dominique gault. visit their site for more info.

using 8 of these sculptures as models, i re-created these provençal buildings over a span of 6 months. i designed a walled platform to display the buildings and to evoke the general feeling gained when visiting this beautiful town.


   
   
   

each building has its own folder showing details of construction. once again, special mention must go to fellow lug member jason allemann for providing inspiration and unique ideas during the construction and the occasional encouragement to strive for “perfection”.

the complete st. paul de vence gallery.

Deborah is too modest to mention that this building was an award winner at BrickFest this year, and was a nominee for Best in Show. Seeing it in person was a real treat! Keep them coming Deborah!! -Cyndi
