Pottery
The ceramics adventure began in the winter of 1949, with the establishment of a workshop at Taizé focused on hand casting and the production of glazes (particularly those made from plant ash). Simple mechanization was soon introduced: hand gluing. As the number of brothers has increased, they have continued to live from their work. The objects produced are everyday items— plates, bowls, and cups.
The workshop has been expanded several times over the years. Wood-fired kilns were replaced by gas kilns, then by programmable gas kilns. Various sorting machines, of varying degrees of efficiency, were introduced into the pottery. In addition to making pottery, the workshops are also a place where new brothers experience community life.
