LES POTERIES DE SOUFFLENHEIM
The quality of Soufflenheim clay is recognized for its culinary and refractory characteristics. Yellow yellow color, each room is unique thanks to nuances in tones and irregularities. An authentication label "made with Soufflenheim clay" allows to identify them. Manufacturing has evolved, but today's potters are trying to perpetuate the gestures taught by their ancestors. Enter the workshops! You will discover the secrets and the different stages of realisation: clay preparation, calibration, engobage (application of the background color), hand decoration, drying, enamelling and cooking. Nowadays, we find Soufflenheim, traditional pottery and a range of new products, with more contemporary shapes and colours, to satisfy the greatest number. Soufflenheim has about pieces of pottery installed throughout the village. To find them and guarantee the origin of their production, please contact the Association des potters d'Alsace du Nord (which also covers the Betschdorf workshops) and the Tourist Office.
