Meet the potters!
Among the sixty or so trades involved in creating exceptional Saint-Louis pieces, the potter's trade is essential. These craftsmen create the clay pots and accessories on which the quality of the crystal depends. Meet them and appreciate the mastery and subtlety of their skills. Behind-the-scenes videos and photographs will enrich your discovery of the fusion of matter.
Demonstrations by artisan potters - Saturday April 5 & Sunday April 6, 2pm to 5pm, non-stop.
