LA POTERIE DU VIEIL ANNECY

other

The stone walls of La Poterie du Vieil Annecy are thick enough to suggest a cellar, but they house a workshop dedicated to hand-thrown clay. Potters sit here today turning stoneware bowls and plates, mirroring the work of regional artisans who shaped the valley’s local earth for centuries. In the late nineteen eighties, this workshop opened to preserve traditional techniques that were vanishing from commercial markets. You will see shelves lined with glazed cups and vessels that bear the thumbprints of their makers.
