Soulaines-Dhuys (north-eastern France): working with clay in the Royer Pottery and Tile Factory following ancestral techniques for 6 generations, making handcrafted pieces while respecting the heritage of a traditional manufacturing method. In the quarry, wind, rain and frost decompose the soil, which is then mixed and moistened before being extracted, thus maintaining the soil's natural cycle. The clay is then loaded into the moulding machine before being shaped into different forms. *** Local Caption ***
