Work in the pottery is part of this broader context and explains a number of practical choices that have been made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic adventure began in the winter of 1949, when a workshop was set up in Taizé, which gradually developed with the main focus on hand-turning and the development of stoneware glazes, using mainly plant-based ashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the community grew larger, the brothers continued to cover their living costs entirely through their own work. It should be noted that most brothers also have another activity within the framework of the community’s ministry. The production is therefore done using simple processes, some of which are mechanised - such as calibration, molding and pressing - producing objects for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo simple processes have been carried over from the first workshop: the preparation of the clay from raw materials quarried locally and the creation of the workshop’s characteristic glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"elsie green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51009409417462,"sku":"79546-339","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2336\/3701\/files\/EG_SKU_061626_stc-35.jpg?v=1782135947","url":"https:\/\/elsiegreen.com\/products\/vintage-taize-abbey-stoneware-plate-set-of-7","provider":"elsie green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
