A cultural heritage saved, preserved, transmitted, which allows the Faïencerie to benefit from the soft label “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant”. “Primitiv”: collections made with the greatest respect for traditional earthenware craftsmanship, perfectly mixing history and modernity. The heart of the collections is embodied by one or more “large format” pieces which are the pillars of these. The depth of range is oriented, on the other hand, towards objects on more modest scales. For each piece the process is the same, it starts with the hand-making of plaster molds from the drawings and quotes of the designers. The earth is poured into the mold, and dries for several hours to form the thickness of the pieces. The molds are then removed, the formed part dries again in the open air. Then follows the finishing step where the various defects and roughness are erased by hand and with a knife. The time of the first firing follows, the piece becomes a “biscuit”, terracotta and porous. The time for coloring came then. True know-how in its own right, the colors developed by the Faïencerie are carefully applied with a spray gun on the piece. It undergoes a second firing to fix the enamel. The time is then to discover the object, witness to the know-how of the Faïencerie de Charolles, and the collaboration of qualified and expert craftsmen. 100% French manufacture and handmade, all the collections represent a heritage, a cultural heritage, a transmission, which is why we can say that the past meets the present.
