CERAMICS " GREY MUGS AND WHITE ASSES "

The extraction and work of clay are ancestral activities in Villenauxe, which employed hundreds of workers in 1850, so-called «gray cuffs» and ceramists called «white cults», 180 at the time. The eccomusea presents this work of the mine and ceramics through old tools and old photographs. You can also enjoy the porcelain biscuits and watch the mounting and finishing demonstrations of the biscuits by one of Villenauxe-la-Grande's latest ceramists. 90 minutes of sightseeing allows you to know everything about this unknown period of the region. Make an appointment. There are also a few artisanal workshops in the canton of Natacha Roche in Barbuise.
