La manufacture

Once upon a time, there was a fascinating story.La Faïencerie de Charolles: a journey through time, in the deep and mysterious forests of southern Burgundy, but above all in the hearts of men and women with linked destinies.It all began in 1844, when Hippolyte Prost, a native of the country, took over his father's pottery workshop, thus laying the first stone of a company that would mark time and history. The Faïencerie de Charolles goes through the ages, but will never cease to carry high the know-how of ceramics, thanks to a handful of passionate craftsmen who will never give up.

In 2019, Cyrille Frappé, convinced of the creative potential of earthenware, takes over the Manufacture and breathes new life into it. Its ambition: to perpetuate this historical know-how and restore their letters of nobility to decorative objects and small furniture that bear meaning and borrow from history. To support his vision, he calls on Aurélie Richard, Artistic Director and designer. The Manufacture definitely takes the turn of modernity and forges collaborations with independent designers to create a real choice of Art ceramics. Still, the manual and artisanal production of these ceramics is ensured in the workshops of Charolles, thanks to the expert hands of eight artisans from the region who know their trade perfectly. The Manufacture is labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, EPV. The Faïencerie de Charolles, a place steeped in history, which has seen the birth of collections that have become cult. The transmission of know-how will continue to bring to life models that have survived the ages, as well as collections of a resolutely contemporary genre. Today, two worlds come together, giving life to new objects that create emotions.

Un savoir-faire

The clay will acquire an ideal texture, perfectly resistant to the first firing at 1030 ° C in a gas oven, from which the "biscuit", terracotta and porous, will come out, which will then be glazed with a spray gun, with carefully colored colors. selected. A second firing at 980 ° C will fix the enamel and the decoration. This process makes the manufacturing very random and sometimes, when opening the oven, the disappointments are great.

The Manufacture perpetuates the cultural heritage of artisanal ceramic production. FdC, certified Living HeritageCompany.
