Located in the heart of touraine, in the small village of monnaie (indre et loire – france), the tourangeau workshop now employs two potters full-time who, as in the past, turn, enamel, decorate and cook exclusively by hand a nièvre clay whose culinary qualities have made the reputation. (machine washable, resistant, aesthetic) The already wide range of artisanal pottery, decorative or utilitarian, produced by the family workshop after more than four decades of existence, has been enriched over the last fifteen years by the original creations of the son of the founder and potter benoît prud'homme.
