In 1944, aged about twenty years A. BOUTAUD, Louis DANGON, Slavic PALEY and RAUDE to avoid the STO (Compulsory Work in Germany) found themselves in training at the vocational school of CLUNY (71). They have Alexander KOSTANDA as a ceramic teacher. They meet at a mutual friend who lives near Accolay, in the Yonne in Burgundy, where they spend “nights redoing the world”. For their personal use they start in a first bell oven the manufacture of buttons, pins, ceramic jewelry. The whole team worked for nothing in 1946-47 (the little money was reinvested). From 1947 the fashion phenomenon of ceramic buttons begins to pass. It is necessary to the potters of Accolay to convert to the utilitarian ceramic. Very quickly the engobe with the help of ochre is generalized. The white earth of Provins takes on warm shades of sandstone! The potters will own a quarry in Provins and will “make” their land. The cost is low thanks to mass production but the pieces are always shot and signed. The first sale takes place on a stand in Auxerre at the 1948 St Martin fair. Everything is sold! They will be forced to continue! Very soon a shop was opened at the “lime kiln” and a gas station on the edge of the N6.But a crisis arrives, they are not on the highway! The trade flow changes axis, the national is much less crowded. Then May 68 with its return to traditional sandstone and the “poor traditional monochrome single piece”. Accolay and Vallauris did not go well with this revolution of taste: for the new generation who wants a “work” he was offered a consumer product.
